[support] Custom menu theming

[sander-martijn]

You'll want to look at the enclosing divs above that first - if you edit 
the classes for menu and leaf it will apply to all menus that use the 
menu and leaf classes. 

What you need to do beyond that depends really on what you want to do.  
For example I have one menu that just uses css, one menu that uses the 
nice_menus module which I then modified the css for, and one completely 
custom menu that's written in straight php in my template and looks like 
this:
$trail = _menu_get_active_trail();
$mid = $trail[1];
if($mid != 5){
$output .= theme('menu_item', $mid);
$output.= theme('menu_tree',$mid);
print('<ul class="leftnavmenu">');
print $output;
print('</ul>');

So there is no correct answer - it all depends on what exactly you're 
trying to do.
