Hi, the menu system is already built in to the template. Simply publish items to your main menu in the backend of Joomla and the links will appear. You can change the effect of the menu in the template configuration.

I struggled with the same prob - trying to work out how to change parameters for this.

I now realise its already built in to eTensity template which I'm using, however, a new menu item I've created in the Main Menu doesn't seem to be picking up the same background colour as the pre-configured menus.

The pre-configured menus have a gradual fade from the grey colour of the tab down to white at the bottom. My new menu item just has a plain white background and looks odd.

Any ideas how I sort this?

Cheers

Bob

Could you post a URL?

Sorted it,

As I started customising images I discovered that there's a background image for the menu with a gradation from light grey to white.

If you only have one or two items in your drop-down it only uses the top couple of centimetres of the image (no gradation) but if you have enough to match the height of the image you see the whole menu background.

Finally if your list of menu items is longer than the background image, a class from the CSS is used to fill in a background colour that matches the top of the image.

I've customised the colours in my implementation of eTensity (will post a URL once its live)
