Helllo,

I need your help using your program to insert my custom buttons that I created in photoshop to the main menu bar. When I insert the home button the preview shows a repeat of the same image. I cannot find a function to add my other buttons. The tutorial was difficult since its very vauge and there are grammatical errors. Please help. Thank you.

The tutorial is still vauge for me. I need more steps on adding different buttons for the menu

If you take a look at the website that Im making for a client

http://www.ksuwesley.org/new_website

Youll see home, staff, donate, etc. remember I sliced them up in photoshop. Are you understanding what Im trying to accomplish? I tried adding the staff, donate after I add the home skin but the home button keeps repeating on the preview bar. Please write a more comprehensive tutorial on adding more buttons. You only wrote five basic steps. Thank you.

Can anyone also help me. Thanks
Jon

Hello Gabriel,

After looking at the link you sent me, I understood that you would like to have individual images for all the buttons in your menu. Unfortunately, this is not a feature implemented in the current version of our product.
The tutorial is short as we tried to make the custom design procedure as simple as possible; the steps you have to follow are:

1. Create the skin elements you want to use (background for the main menu and submenu, background for main-menu-button and submenu-button, main menu and submenu separator, main menu and submenu arrow).
2. Create the menu structure.
3. Insert the paths to the images in the Create Custom Skin? window.
4. Preview your menu.
5. Improve its appearance using the Animations, Layout and Text tabs.

What I recommend is to follow the steps in the tutorial and to use a font that will have a similar appearance to the one you sent me with your link (please keep in mind to use a web-compatible font).
More information about the custom skin can be found here:

http://www.extendstudio.com/Docs/Creative%20DW%20Drop%20Down%20Menu/7_Create_a_Custom_Skin.html

We are currently updating the documentation and tutorials and the new version will be available soon.
I hope this will help you and you will obtain the best results with your work.

Kind regards,
Jon Stanciu
