5.4 Menu Features

Once you have selected the Menu Features tab, the Define DHTML Menu Features screen will be displayed.

 

There are a large number of Menu Features for DHTML Menus. The features allow you to customize the appearance of the DHTML menu. Changing the menu features will allow you to modify the color settings, font settings, relational settings and several other parameters related to the DHTML menu presentation.

The initial values used for the Menu Features are the default values. If you intend to modify any of these values, take note of the original value so they can be restored later if you choose to "undo" you modifications.

Any modifications to the default settings are stored in a set of process specific graphic variables. The original settings are program defaults (i.e. they are NOT stored as system graphic variables). For more details, refer to 5.7 Technically Speaking.

These variables can radically change the appearance of your DHTML menus and should be modified with caution.

 

After you have finished specifying your menu features, press the Apply button to update the variables. A completion message "Menu Features updated successfully" will be issued. The modified menu features will be used next time you modify a Left or Horizontal menu. To use a new menu separator image the appropriate menus must be re-built. The appropriate menus must be re-built to include changes to the Menu Features.
