Owner drawn menus are relatively easy to do but there's the problem of making them platform independent. In Windows one has to set the menu property to "owner drawn" and than respond to messages like WM_DRAWITME and WM_MEASUREITEM. I am sure Macintosh is using something similar but differently so that owner drawn menus would require separate code for each platform.
Also, note that menus can also be drawn as toolboxes on rebar, which is technique used in MS Office, but even then one has to use owner drawn technique to get the looks one wants.
