If you require complete control over the View and Edit menus, please upgrade to Theme Builder 2 or above.

Style Sheets

If you want to apply style sheets to all pages within a space, and therfore the menus throughout that space, add your styles to the CSS Custom Styles , for examplesetting in Theme Configuration.

For example, to hide the News menu item on all pages in a space, add:

.menu-news {
 display: none;
 visibility: hidden;
}

If you want to apply styles to a specific page , like we have on this page, use the style macro within that page, for example:

{style}
.menu-news {
 display: none;
 visibility: hidden;
}
{style}

...

The following examples give just a taster of what can be done with style sheets, and we've applied all of these examples to this page using the style macro so you can see them in action...
