Hi All!

Absolutely love this menu, is there any chance you can post the PSD files for this so I can match to my site's colors?

Thank you!

Is there a way to set up the css so that the menu doesn't break over onto a second line when the browser window is narrower than the menu?

Yeah I agree I would like to add a horizontal submenu to this, then it would be PERFECT

I initially had some problems with this not displaying correctly - turns out, you need to have the menu text in - tags, like in the example. Hope this helps
