Hi. Sorry if you have already answered this question but I looked at several related answers and could not find one that fitted.

In Module Manager / AriExtMenu there are Basic Options which suggest that I can change the text, background, hove (etc) colours. Regardless of what I do here the colours stay set to the default.

Looking on this forum, there are other people with similar problems but many of your responses refer to editing CSS files.

A lot of option in Joomla extensions suggest they do something but actually need another action, switch or option setting before they actually do it.

Does this mean that the Basic Options section does not change the colours as suggested but in some other way?

Or do the Basic Options write to the CSS file and you are suggesting that it is more effective to edit the CSS file directly?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree (this happens a lot)

Hello,

Parameters from module settings works fine, when we suggest to add custom CSS rules, usually it is a problem with site template styles. In your case it seems you only set menu item color to "black".

Thanks... mea culpa.

I had set the sub-menu colours thinking they were the main menu colours. Doh!

Can I change the height of the menu bar? That is, the space above and below the text on the 'buttons'.

Could you provide an image where we can see what you want to achieve?

Further to my previous, although I have solved my problem with colours I thought you may like to know what caused the problem.

I am using Firefox 3.6 When I select a colour code in the ARI menu Basic Options to change a colour the colour selection chart appears. I select my colour and click 'select' The box which displays the chosen code them jumps to the top of the visible window and I did not notice. This change puts the colour selection boxes for the Sub Menu in the place where the Main Menu boxes were, and I just acrried on unaware that the boxes were jumoping about. I do not know if this is a feature of Firfox or ARI, but if it is ARI you might want to look at it.

As for altering the text and box size this is a little exagerated, but I would like to be able to reduce the space above and below the text like this:



1st image Default....................... 2nd image reduced space above and below.

Hope this helps

Try to use the next CSS rule:
