How to create Windows-8-styled menus?

Question

I'm writing a technical documentation and I want to explain step-by-step how to go through various menus.

That's how it looks in Windows 8:

menu style in Windows 8

What I want in Latex should looks similar to this: light grey box, dark grey border and black windows-like font.

Desired result

I've seen this question, suggesting the package popupmenu - but it looks very old fashioned - are there any more modern approaches?
