RE: New Menu Button
For which menu?

Look in the UI file for that menu and see where the buttons are defined in there......then just copy the code, change the image and cmdid......and then ur all set

or look at a skin which adds menu buttons (such as my SexySkin) which adds a Skin Options button on the toolbar with the e-mail buttons, etc

RE: New Menu Button
The only way to create a drop-down menu (at this time) is to replace an existing one with the functions you desire

you can't create brand new drop-down menus

If you want to create a button which displays a menu then it is possible. Just one moment while I experiment...

EDIT:
Definition
code:
<MenuButton Active=MouseAndKeyboard|NoSyncFocus Layout=FillLayout()>
    <ButtonIcon content="My Custom Menu"/>
    <PopupMenu2>
        <MenuItem2 Class="ToolbarMenuItem" CmdID=12345 text="Item1"/>
        <MenuItem2/>
        <MenuItem2 Class="ToolbarMenuItem" CmdID=12346 text="Item2"/>
    </PopupMenu2>
</MenuButton>

Style
code:
MenuButton
{
Background:rcclr(20017);
ContentAlign:MiddleCenter;
Tooltip:True;
}
MenuButton[IsDefault]
{
Background:rcclr(20017);
}
MenuButton[MouseWithin]
{
Background:rcbkd(20201);
}
MenuButton[Pressed]
{
Background:rcbkd(20202);
}
MenuButton[Enabled=False]
{
Background:rcbkd(2018);
}
MenuButton[KeyFocused]
{
ContentAlign:MiddleCenter|FocusRect;
}
MenuItem2[Class="ToolbarMenuItem"]
{
IconChecked:rcimg(20051);
IconCheckedHighlight:rcimg(20052);
}


Taken from 1001 and modified for simplicity.
You will need working command IDs (CmdId).
