Office XP menu backgrounds

Does anyone know how to change the dropdown menu gray and
white backgrounds with mixed icons and text, used in the
Office XP products, back to a Windows Display setting of
all gray with black text? I've tried changing the Display
Settings (Control Panel|Display|Appearance) but the color
changes are only applied to the gray area of the dropdown
menu. My old eyes really prefer the softer gray to the
harsh white.
