This is not good, please take a look at your X output.
There are no such MenuStyle options "HiLight" and "Shadow".

Works fine for me.

You don't need to reapply MenuStyle. Colorsets start to work in all places
where defined in the moment you change them.

Define all three, but first clean it, remove "HiLight" and "Shadow" as
unexisting options and define shadow colors (sh, hi, fgsh) in colorsets
if needed.
Only the first colorset uses AspectPixmap, other two do not use any
images, so if you define AspectPixmap there, it is ignored.
There may be currently some problems with the new functionality.
For example if you define any *Alpha in the greyed colorset, its
background becomes black until Restart, so just don't do it for now.
