Menu style options
Use bitmap scheme - This new option introduced in version 5.1 allows creating sophisticated graphical
menus with the addition of images. You can choose from the available schemes or you can create your own schemes. Please
click here to learn how to build your own bitmap scheme. Warning: Bitmaps schemes will override some of
the other settings (e.g. menu orientation). Additionally some settings (like the background color or border) will have no effect on the output.
Generate top-level menu as a single bitmap file - If using a bitmap scheme, this option determines whether the top-leve menu will be generated as a single image (option checked) or as HTML code merged with multiple images. Selecting this option is very useful because it allows you to use non-standard fonts since the texts will be merged into the image (with anti-aliasing effect).
Generate bitmap backgrounds for popup menus (if possible) -
When this option is selected, SiteXpert generates bitmap backgrounds for popup menus if they are defined
in the selected bitmap scheme. Please note that this can affect a number of options, e.g. the width of popup menus
cannot be set when this option is selected.
Add item separators - This option will add horizontal separators between pop-up menu items.
Border size - Enter border size of pop-up menus. Entering 0 will remove borders from pop-up menus.
Menu width - Enter width of pop-up menus.
Item padding - This value represents distance between consecutive pop-up menu items.
Vertical offset - This value determines vertical offset between the top level menu and pop-up menus (or horizontal offset for a vertical menu).
Adjust 1st-level popup's width to top-level item - Select this option to adjust width of top-level popup menus to top-level item's width.
Border color - Color of the border around pop-up menus.
Text alignment - Specify text alignment of pop-up menu items.
Advanced / OnMouseOut closes menu - When this option is selected, pop-up menus will collapse when user moves the mouse cursor away from the menu.
Advanced / Popups automatically close after - This value determines the time (in miliseconds; 1000ms = 1 sec) it takes for pop-up menus to automatically collapse after moving the mouse cursor away from the menu.
Advanced / Opacity - Select opacity (transparency) of pop-up menus. This value should be in range 0..100. A default value of 100 means the item will be fully visible.
A value of 80 means the popups will be partly transparent (text and images underneeth the popups will be partly visible).
Advanced / Fading time - Allows addition of fade-in effect for popup menus. This value is expressed in miliseconds.
Horizontal space between items - Determines how much space will be inserted between top-level menu items.
Vertical padding - This value determines padding for top-level menu items.
No border around menu - Selecting this option will remove border from the top-level menu.
Add item separators - This option will add vertical separators between top-level items.
Full width of top-level menu - This option will extend top-level menu to full width of the browser window.
Text alignment - Select text alignment of top-level menu items.
Menu orientation - Determines whether a horizontal or vertical menu will be created.
Advanced / Event opening menu - Menu can be expanded when user clicks or moves the mouse over a top-level menu item.
Advanced / Show arrows - Selecting this option will add arrows to top-level items that have submenus.
Advanced / Menu ID - Please leave this option unchanged unless creating multiple menus on a single web page. Menu ID is the index of the menu on a web page. The first menu should have ID = 1, the second menu = 2, and so on...
Advanced / Show pop-up menus in the same frame - When this option is selected, and site map uses frames, pop-up menus will expand in
the frame where the top-level menu is located. Otherwise, pop-up menus will open in the other frame.
Advanced / 'Expand menu' arrow - Sets properties of the 'expand menu' arrow.
