Hi:

I'm wondering if anyone has (or has been able to modify an existing one) a menu solution that will allow me to use image backgrounds for the top level menu structure. Basically, I need to be able to skin the following (see: http://www.lcm-res.com/sample_image.gif ) .

I just need the top level menu to use those green triangle-like containers ... the rest will just be standard dropdowns.

Any ideas? I've tried SolPart and admit that I'm a bit stumped.

Thanks in advance.

Larry

Thanks Chris:

OK, so the sides of the menu would be the triangle portions ... I'll give the solpart menu CSS another try. I inherited this design from some graphic designers ... sigh.

And hello from another Stl resident!

......but it's even difficult for a core team member to setup :D

Maybe so, but it is possible.

These are all Solpart Menus which have been skinned...

http://may.skincovered.com/  uses Snapsis

http://march.skincovered.com also has a snapsis pure CSS menu implemented in it, so while it might be difficult for some, it's possible for others

 These are for skincovered subscribers, but, you can download quite a few free skins, one in particular - DesignAway from my http://www.xd.com.au website which, back in 2004, I had created some 'graphical image' backgrounds for the menu, the one with the vertical menu - you can view it http://www.ninasfreeskins.com/designaway/vertical-menu.aspx  This menu uses background images which I'm sure will give you a head start..

So, don't despair, you don't have to be on the core team to be able to skin...
