Hear, hear.  It seems to me that all Apple had to do was to include a 
new CDEF for us to use.  It would save the trouble of creating your
own UserItem and trying desperately to get the same shape and colors...

I *am* thankful for the new popup menu CDEF.  I'd written a CDEF to do
exactly this about three years ago, but it's nice to use an officially
sanctioned one.  This way, when Apple changes their interface (like the
new down-arrow in the popup box) we don't have to worry about it.
