How do I draw a XP style shadow line below the menubar of an
application. Not a separator line, but a line that separates the menu
bar from the reset of the client area?

I know how to draw a line during the paint event, etc. via a brush or
pen, but what colors should I use so that it looks right in XP?
 
use the SystemColors enumeration

probably SystemColors.Control or SystemColors.ControlDark

Click to expand...

Have a look at the 'SystemColors' enum.
