Just found 2 great apps to customize the contextual menu in Mac OS X

• NuFile
• DocumentPalette

About NuFile:

NuFile(pronounced new-file (Nu is a greek letter)) is a contextual menu plugin. It adds a new file menu when you right click at a folder(ie: desktop or Finder background); just like what you can do in Windows. With this menu, you can create an empty file of your favourite type with just two clicks(“it’s just one click if you hold the button down ;)”–Endian). It’s a time saver especially if you have a two-button mouse (ex: Apple’s sleeky mighty mouse) or if you use RazzFazz’s iScroll2. If you like this program, and want to see its improvement please consider making a donation.

About DocumentPalette:

Create new documents directly in open folders

Document Palette runs in the background and allows you to create new documents in the current folder. With a folder active in Finder, press Control+Option+Command+N to make the palette appear, then select the document type you wish to create.

Using the palette

From an active folder, press the key combination below.

After the palette pops up, select a document type and you’re done.

Customizing the palette

You can add any type of document to the palette. Simply create a blank document using an editor, then drag it to the document list in Document Palette’s Preferences window.

Not just empty files

Add files with content to create document types that work like stationery pads or templates.
