i like it as it is in Francois' screenshot. it clearly distinguishes the
dropdown menu item from the panel. it also integrates the dropdown menu
background with the highlighted parent menu item itself (in this case
'Raccourcis').

in your images it is separated from both the panel and the parent menu
item, adding unneccesary complexity to the visual field.

my two bytes,
