Custom Styles

Some of the available styles are designed to allow greater customisation of menu styles through CSS and should only be used if you intend developing a custom menu style:

• Custom – Just enough CSS to make the menus usable, however you'll need to specify your own background colours as a minimum.
• Custom 2D – An extension to the Custom option, this provides a small amount of extra CSS for 2D menus.
• Custom 3D – Similar to Custom 2D, but provides some additional CSS to help with 3D effect menus.
• None – No menu style will be output - you should only use this option if you are prepared to create custom menu styles from scratch, or if you are not using menus within your wiki.

For more information on customising the menu style with your own style sheets, see our tutorial on Customising Menu Styles.
