You can modify the look of the RadContextMenu either by changing some of the resources exposed by the API, or by modifying their ControlTemplates. In the control template you are allowed to reorder the template parts and add your own elements. However, when changing the control template you should be careful to include all required parts.
Note that when changing the ControlTemplate you should include all required parts. Even thought your code will compile, some of the functionality may be subject to impact due to the omission of the required parts. The required parts are usually marked with the prefix "PART".
