MENUS.BIN stores data about custom menus. This lump only contains data applicable to an entire menu. Data about individual menu items is located in MENUITEM.BIN. The record size is stored in BINSIZE.BIN

Note: for years from when menus.bin was added (2007) until r5401 (2012), when the binsize of menus.bin was 52 bytes, the binsize of menus.bin was mistakenly two bytes longer than needed and the last two bytes are not written, so menus.bin would always be two bytes short. Every time more data was added to the fileformat the binsize was expanded to again be 2 bytes longer than needed. If the file system doesn't zero-initialise part of a file when you seek past the end and then write to it, then garbage data may have crept in. (On Unix the gap is zero-initialised, but I don't know about Windows.)

Offset	Data	Meaning
0-10	VSTR(1i+20b=11i)	Menu name
11	INT	Box style (same as text box background color)
12	INT	Default menu item text color - 0 means use the global default (uiMenuItem), 1 to 255 is a color index in master palette, -n - 1 means UI color n (values < 0 are supported in fufluns and newer)
13	INT	Max rows to show at a time (0=default, cannot exceed screen height)
14	INT	Bitsets 0=Transparent box 1=Never show scrollbar 2=Allow gameplay while menu is active 3=Suspend player even if gameplay allowed 4=No box 5=Cancel button doesn't close menu 6=No player control of menu 7=Prevent main menu from opening 8=Advance text box when menu closes 9=Highlight selection background 10=Remember selection when reopening 11=Clamp to screen bounds (This is a WIP feature) 12-15=Unused
15	INT	Offset X (positive or negative)
16	INT	Offset Y (positive or negative)
17	INT	Anchor X (-1=left, 0=center, 1=right)
18	INT	Anchor Y (-1=top, 0=center, 1=bottom)
19	INT	Text align (-1=left, 0=center, 1=right)
20	INT	Minimum width (in text chars, default=0)
21	INT	Maximum width (in text chars, 0=none, >=1 crops strings)
22	INT	Border thickness (in pixels, can be negative)
23	INT	On-close script trigger
24	INT	Menu ID -1 to open when pressing ESC (or 0 for none)
25	INT	Garbage (do not repurpose. See r5401 for details)
26	INT	Item spacing, in pixels to be added to the default. Negative makes the items closer together, positive stretches them apart. This value alters the vertical size of the whole menu
27	INT	Default menu item disabled text color - 0 means use the global default, 1 to 255 is a color index in master palette, -n - 1 means UI color n
