What can this menu do for you?
» These are web buttons suitable for use as a navigation bar across the top of your page.
» Button behaviour. Buttons are sticky, which means they wait for a second click to release.
Here is the extra information you requested about sticky buttons. [CLOSE]
- Sticky buttons: on the first click, the buttons take on their active or pressed-in state. This means they will change to the active state colour of your choice. With some menu themes there is also an accompanying press-in effect. The button will keep the active or pressed-in appearance after you release the mouse button. This means you can see the last button clicked. A second click on the same button, or a click on a different button, will release the button back to its normal state. Sticky buttons are supported by Button-bar Menus and Button-column Menus.
- Non-sticky buttons: when you press the mouse button down, the active or pressed-in state appears, but as soon as you release the mouse button, the menu button also releases and returns to its normal state. A second click is not required. Non-sticky buttons are supported by Drop-down Menus and Pop-out Menus.
- Non-sticky buttons with submenus: the drop-down and pop-out menus have both non-sticky buttons and optional submenus. How do these combine? If no submenu is attached, the button releases immediately. However if a submenu is attached to the button, the button will not release if the submenu launches - instead it will wait for the submenu to deactivate. A click anywhere on the page will deactivate the submenu.
» Aqua-T theme. The Aqua-T design produces a simple semi-translucent buttonised look-and-feel to your menu. The colours are based on a single colour of your choice. In this variant, the entire menu is a single large aqua button and the menu items are just placed over this as simple text. Individual menu items become buttonised with their own aqua buttons only 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.
» 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. 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. Click here to find out important information about layout and line-wrapping, including design tips and essential guidance.
» Icons. Icons are supported. Icons are multi-state and easily redefined by the user. Click here to find out more about icons.
» Hyperlinks. Every menu item can have hyperlinks attached. Click here to find out more about hyperlinks.
» Script triggers. If you like writing your own javascripts, you will be happy to find that this applet can directly trigger your scripts. Click here to find out more about scripts.
» Separators. Insert specially styled separators wherever you like. Separator appearance is dependent on the menu theme and some have dramatic visual effects to enhance the menu interface. The Aqua-T separator is a simple 3D line. Click here to find out how to insert separators into your menu.
» 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.
» Tools. An online visual configuration tool is available. Just click  button maker. It can be used to edit the size, appearance and content of your menu.
» Sound effects. The menu can trigger sounds of your choice.
