Theme Builder

Under construction

This tutorial shows how to customise menus beyond the pre-defined menu themes...

Preface

This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with the basic functionality within Theme Builder 3.x such as creating and editing layouts using the Layout Manager. It also assumes that you have a good understanding of CSS.

Where possible, we recommend using the pre-defined styles and settings on the Menus Tab as these are heavily tested on a wide range of operating system and web browser combinations.
