[support] Block Styles

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Tom,

If I understand your question correctly, you have done the following steps:

1. Created the menus at the menu admin screen.

2. Displayed those menus in a region of your theme via the block config 
menu --

If this is the case, every block has a unique ID, and you could target 
individual blocks via css. Alternately, and this would be more complex 
but ultimately more flexible, you could set up a php snippet in your 
template.php (or maybe even create a small helper module) that examined 
block titles, and then applied css based on the text of the title.

In some ways, the second option could be pretty slick: an admin screen 
where you identified the text to look for in the block title, and then a 
textarea where you entered the css override. But that would be a fair 
amount of work to accomplish something you can do pretty quickly within 
the stylesheet.

You also might want to check this out: http://drupal.org/node/74481 -- 
it's a bit dated, but is still pretty relevant.

Also, what I'm suggesting assumes that you are displaying your menus via 
blocks.

Cheers,

Bill
