Q: I was trying out the Vista samples and was able to change the sub-item font size but not the cascade menu javascript item(s) font size. Is this by design?
A: You should change font for the main items in the Individual Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
Try that.
Q: Just downloaded and installed the latest version, noticed it does not say beta any longer. On this version and the previous version I had installed I can not click and move the window open script around on the screen when using Firefox. When I used IE it works as expected, I can move it and it sticks in position. Is there a fix for this?
A: See we've made many changes in window open script in v3.3.
Your old pop up windows (data files) won't work with new engine file.You should recreate your popup window in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: I'm trying out your cool dropdown menu code.
I'm trying to rebuild my menu like this one

I have a problem. In my case, I have some really long labels and some short ones. In some cases my text is larger than the button (see attachment). In your example all the buttons have the same width. Is it possible to have a Vista styled menu with different width for the buttons?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_cyan.gif
btn_cyan2.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
You should also change items width in your Individual Item Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_cyan.gif,btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: I have just downloaded your trial version and am trying to use java menu maker using the windows xpstyle1 template. I can only seem to get the top button showing as grey but can change colors of submenus OK. Am I missing something or is this a restriction of the trial system i.e. how do I get the top button showing the same as submenu buttons
A: Trial version of java menu maker has full functionality of the licensed version.
To change submenu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2";
var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
and Individual Submenu Style:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
For the top items you should change Individual Item style:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"],
];
