No, it looks more like GNUstep style menus if you ever saw those.

I have attached the screenshot of the usermenu example look with
my kcalc (ignore the titlebar and menu theme I am using).

In order to test it with e.g. kcalc this is what you need to do:
1. widnowmaker need to be configured (compiled) with the --enable-usermenu
   configure option
2. Under the directory /home/djosip/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/UserMenus
   create file named kcalc.Kcalc.menu with the following content:
(
  "Calculator",
  ("Put 1", SHORTCUT, "2"),
  ("Functions",
    ("Put 2", SHORTCUT, "2"),
    ("Put 3,4 and 5", SHORTCUT, (3,4,5))
  ),
  ("Exit", SHORTCUT, "Control+q")
)

3. Run kcalc and every time it is focused with the pointer a menu should
   appear. Selecting a option from the menu will send the specified
   keyboard event to the kcalc window (kcalc.Kcalc window to be exact).
