How to Customize It?

  • Here normal ul and li rules are applied
  • To change background simply change background: #414141;
  • Replace every # with your own link
  • To create a drop down menu inside a Main Menu link simple add to it a rel attribute like rel="ddsubmenu1 Change the drop down number accordingly.

Use HTML Editor?


I highly recommend you to use the HTML Editor as you can edit and see live demo of your menu in HTML Editor.
