Happy Blackline Scroller Menu
 Activate menu maker. | What can these menus do for you?
» These are hyperlinkable news scrollers or text scrollers, available in numerous themes and suitable for use as navigation bars down the side of your page.
» Messages of your choice display one after the other, and each message can be hyperlinked as a menu item. You can also use the menu without hyperlinks to display information.
» Rollover effect. When you move the mouse over the menu, the display pauses and the text becomes underlined.
» Colour scheme. You can change the colour scheme of the menu. Click here to find out more about colours.
» Fonts and text formatting. The menu supports true-type fonts and you can format text colour, size, weight and alignment.
Here is the extra information you requested about fonts and text formatting. [CLOSE]
- True-type fonts. Any kind of font which you can display in HTML will also display in the applet (except in very old browsers).
- The demonstration above randomly switches between Verdana and Comic Sans, but you can reconfigure the demonstration live to experiment with your own fonts.
- Colour states. You can define colours for up to three text states, which are normally standard, rollover and active/pressed. So, for example, the text can change colour when the mouse moves onto it, or when the mouse button is clicked. The function of the third colour set may vary with some menu types.
- Alignment. You can align the text left, right or centre.
- Text size and weight. You can give the text almost any size. 'Weight' means you make it 'bold' or 'not bold'.
- Click the 'menu maker' link with the magic wand at the top of the page to reveal an online configurator to experiment with fonts and text live.
» Layout and line-wrapping. This menu features automated layout. Automated layout means that the menu adapts itself to the content you enter into it. For example, buttons and menu items will be automatically sized and the thematic elements recalculated to fit precisely.

» Hyperlinks. Every menu item can have hyperlinks attached. Click here to find out more about hyperlinks.

» Capacity. This menu supports up to 50 menu items, including submenu items (if available). For greater capacity, or for menus created dynamically or from databases, try the Big Happy Menus variation.
