Can i create my own theme?

Since this plugin works on CSS, if you are capable of writing CSS, you can customize the theme as you like it.

Plugin comes with various themes already installed. If you want something different, then you can request a new theme.

How can i hide pages from menu?

You can use Exclude Pages plugin to hide certain pages from menu.

You can use this plugin called Page Lists Plus. Unfortunately it allows you edit page lists only.

      Can you send me your wordpress url so that i can see what the problem is. Plugin works on wordpress installations higher than 2.8. That may be the problem.

    Hi, is there any way to add a custom link to the menu. E.g I want a link to HOME page with text HOME in the current menu.

    Where should I change the z-index? The drop down is going behind my container.

    I must have tried more than a dozen z-index locations and tests? nothing? drop-down is hiding behind my #content from theme css. Which takes priority? float or z-index? So far you’ve come the closest to what I want without having to manually embed it in the code, which I’m trying to avoid. Thx, for getting this far.
