What can this menu do for you?
» This is a gliding java menu applet suitable for use as a navigation bar down the side of your page.
» Carousel scrolling.This is a button menu modified with carousel scrolling. Carousel scrolling allows a button menu to handle more content in the same space. Mouse movement over the menu causes the menu to rotate in a predictable, controlled fashion. When the mouse is moved off the menu, it will scroll back to its original position.
» Button behaviour. Buttons are sticky, which means they wait for a second click to release. Click here to find out more about sticky buttons.
» XP-3000 theme. The XP-3000 design is for those who feel that Windows XP is just a little uninspiring in style. A combination of metallic gradients and borders based on the colours of your choice results in a smart, professional and original button style. The gradient effect reverses on rollover. Different menu types are categorised into themes, so you can obtain a variety of matching menus. Click here to see all the menus which match this theme.

» Fonts and text formatting. The menu supports true-type fonts and you can format text colour, size, weight and alignment. Click here to find out more about fonts and text formatting.
» 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.
