This part of the Layout tab contains options that affect only the appearance of the submenu.
Submenu layout configuration
This section is divided in two parts, first referring to the submenu layout and second related to button settings.
The submenu layout can be configured with respect to the alignment (which can be again Left, Center or Right) or opacity (the Alpha parameter, given as a percentage – 0 corresponding to transparent and 100 to opaque). The “H&V Submenu Overlap” refers to how much the submenus will overlap (horizontally or vertically) the main menu or between each other (the values introduced in the two text fields are expressed in pixels). The last option available here – “Show Arrow for Submenus” – controls the arrow display for submenu buttons that have submenus.
The next part contains options connected to the submenu buttons settings. The first two ones arrange the buttons vertically with respect to alignment (top, middle or bottom) or margin – configured from the text field in which a number of pixels can be inserted. The Spacing and Minimum Width option are also configured by inserting a number of pixels in the corresponding text fields – the first one controlling the spacing between buttons and the second one the minimum width which a button can have. One last option that can be configured for the submenu buttons is their resizing behavior; it can be set to “fit to largest text” or “no resize”.
