Shape 5

I wanted to know which CSS fild controlled the look and feel of the left hand side menu, as it is in the demo.
If you can let me know which CSS file and what code it is, thanks.

Hello,

This is controlled by "a.mainlevel-img" and the lines of code below it all suffixed with "-img" at about line 937 in your template_css.css file.

Regards,

I cannot get the left menu to look anything like the demo. The menu does not have white background and the image does not sit next to, but above the menu link name....

You have to apply the "-plain" module suffix found at the following URL, notice on the left column an example, this will get you the white background:

Regarding the menu you have to add the "-img" menu suffix and make sure your menu is set to the vertical style also seen here:

Regards,

So can i take that code and stick it into another template? I like the look of the left menu very much. thanks. Any pointers would be great, btw, great template.

Hello,

Yes, you should be able to do so. As long as you copy all of the CSS that is suffixed with "-img"
