Menu Maker Question

[Turan]

Looking for some cool drop down menus and downloaded Menu Maker, but can't seem to see if you can import your own button graphics.

Can this be done or are you limited to the buttons in there list (only some of which are available in the 15 day download.

but my guess is you cannot customize it with your own graphics.

But I believe you do have some control over the colors, fonts, button shapes, etc. and so it sounds like a pretty good deal.

I wonder if you could look at the code for the button names, sizes, etc. and substitute your images using the names and sizes in the script?

NOPE, what you see is what you get!!

Not a bad little application but these days most of the website building apps have rollover creation utilities built in or you can create them in XaraX (not as easily as the WYSIWYG builders though ).

There ARE many more buttons that you can download if you buy the application but, for me, untill they allow for importation of your own art work then it's just gonna sit there in my ever growing cache of unused programs.

If I am correct you can create drop down menus with flyout sub menus which is not something you can do in most applications. At least not the ones I use :-)

Thanks for confirming what I thought. Sometimes with a new app you mis the import button, but seems there is not.

For the Xara PR it does seem to be a nice tool, but if you want to add drop downs to an existing site it will not do.

... but I think you can do your own templates design.

Firstly you can create your buttons templates and save them as .xgt (xara graphics template format).

Then you must create "an index file", but it more difficult. I not yet understand this format that describing all graphic elements for use in the programm... so sorry...

Those who interested just search the Xara MM directory and try to import a few files in XaraX... You'll wondered... I promise! )

Alexander,

Can you post a small examble of this on your web site and give us the URL?

Did you see Mike Hennessey's Post in the Xara Gallery Conference?

He did your phone tutorial very well. You are a good teacher :-)
