Create new style. Here you can enter a name and assign an icon-marker to this style. All the items that have this style applied would be marked with this icon on the menu tree view. You can change these details at any time.
NOTE: Every new style that you add into a list has all the parameters of the currently selected style. HINT: You can call styles suitable for its locations i.e. Level-1 for first-level items or Level-1-arrow for first-level items with submenu. Icons with arrow are also usually used to mark items with submenu. This would help you much at further usage. |

set horizontal text alignment: Left, Centered, Right. Next two buttons 
set vertical text alignment: Top, Centered. These buttons are accessible if the Button Width and Height options are defined. Otherwise the button size depends on the item text.
Margin
Set the Text margins in pixels - spacing between the text and button edges.
NOTE: If you define Horizontal Align to Center then Left and Right margins are disabled. If you define Vertical Align to Center then Top and Bottom margins are disabled.

You can set different color, bold (B), italic (I) and underline (U) style to text for the item states.
How to set colors see Color Picker.

Bg Images
Turn Bg Images check box on if you want to use background images.
Turn Over check box on if you want to use different images in over state from normal images.
Menu Item background can be composed using up to three images: left and right edges and middle image (repeating horizontally). Text will appear within the middle part only so the edges can be reviewed as additional margins for text.
Select the image box you wish to edit and type the image path in the edit box or browse image file by Browse button.
