can i have the sub menu drop downs - drop next horizontally instead of vertically (with the graphic)
Not that I have heard of.
Also is there a way to make one of the sub menus 2 lines? (engagement rings) so it fits on the graphic better?
Generally, I would try to tackle this with the BigAreaMenu Action (BAM) which should be available at Actionsforge. I gave it once a try and it worked pretty fine to extend the “view and style” of a menu.
One thing personal:
Those “static” bg images in a css-menu don’t really look straight forwarded (up to my liking) especially if it comes to those “pill-shape”. You always struggle with Font-Size, overflow and a maladjustment between shape and Text. But as I said: personal cause I’m probably the “pill-shape-hater”.
