{scrollbar:no-css=true}

*{excerpt}This tutorial shows you how to customise items on the View and Edit menus...{excerpt}*

h2. Menu Classes

The menu items on the view and edit menu each have a unique ??class name?? that allows them to be customised using style sheets.

We'll discuss the various style sheets that can be applied later in this tutorial, but first you will need to know what all the class names are and which menus they relate to:
{div}
||Class||Menu Path||Notes||Availability||
||{{menu-view}}|View|The ??View?? menu item on the menu bar|Always|
||{{sub-menu-view}}|View|The menu that appears when you open the ??View?? menu.|Always|
||{{menu-this-page}}|View > This Page|The ??This page?? menu item at the top of the ??View?? menu.|Always|
||{{sub-menu-this-page}}|View > This Page|The menu that appears when you open the ??This Page?? menu.|Always|
||{{menu-normal-view}}|View > This Page > Normal View|The ??Normal View?? menu item at the top of the ??This Page?? menu.|Always, except when creating a new page or news item.|
||{{menu-printable-view}}|View > This Page > Printable View|The ??Printable View?? item on the ??This Page?? menu|Always|
{div}

h2. Style Sheets

h3. Hiding Menu Items

To hide a menu item, add a new style to the [Builder Theme Configuration] as shown in the example below:

{noformat}.menu-separator-2, .menu-mail {
 display: none;
 visibility: false;
}
{noformat}

This will hide the ??Mail?? item on the ??View?? menu. Because that item has a separator bar above it, we've also hidden that.

h3. Text Prefixes and Suffixes

As you've probably noticed, the ??View?? menu and it's ??Account?? menu item have sprouted Italian and Japanese translations. Here's how it was done.

{noformat}
.menu-view div:before {
 content: "Vista/";
}

.menu-view div:after {
 content: "/??";
}

.menu-account td.label:before {
 content: "Cliente/"
}

.menu-account td.label:after {
 content: "/??";
}
{noformat}

We applied the style just to this page by using the [style macro].

h2. Colours

You can change the background colour of an entire sub-menu as shown in the example below:

{noformat}
.sub-menu-other-pages {
 background-color: #FFFFC0;
}
{noformat}


{style}
.sub-menu-account div div div div {
 background-color: #FFFFC0;
}

.menu-separator-2, .menu-mail {
 display: none;
 visibility: false;
}

.menu-view div:before {
 content: "Vista/";
}

.menu-view div:after {
 content: "/??";
}

.menu-account td.label:before {
 content: "Cliente/"
}

.menu-account td.label:after {
 content: "/??";
}
{style}
