Learn CSS if you don't understand CSS classes, grouping and order of precedence
Each menu type, horizontal, vertical tree, etc. uses CSS stylesheets that are automatically copied to the root level of your website via Menu Hot Sauce Helper. These CSS stylesheets control the font, color, size, width, position, height, and "whatever you can think of" for the menus and buttons. You should know how to write CSS efficently. If not, please click the link above to learn about it.
