I would like to make a menu using a specific font, background and rollover, then insert it into a rockettheme template.(replicant)
How would I go about accomplishing this? I have the design/slices all figured out , but I wasn't sure if I had to modify the css of the existing code, or completely lose the existing menu and create it from scratch. If so can it be done statically, like you would for an html site?
I would imagine the best way would be statically, you'll have to manually copy/paste all the menu links into the source file but that's no big deal. At least you'll have total control over how the menu code looks
I would make all of the menu buttons out of one big PNG/slice then just use background positioning to get the correct buttons in place (using <li> classes for each).
SWMenu (pro) will let you assign individual graphic elements to menus, depending on what sort of menu you are trying to make. It certainly isn't magic, though, and there are pros and cons to doing it that way.
