Hi,
I am using *book* menu's in* Drupal 7 *but want to make them look nice. I found the* 'nice menus' module*, but I was not able to make my book menus nicer with it. Most hints and tips I find on this subject seem to be for Drupal 6...
Any hints on how to do this or where to look?
Thanks, Tom
to make them look nice
What do you mean by "nice?" If you are simply after better aesthetics, making CSS changes to your theme (create a custom theme or a subtheme, don't hack core) is probably your best option.
If you are interested in presenting them in an alternative structure, http://drupal.org/project/menu_block may be helpful

Thanks Carl,
Yes, CSS would probably do 80% of what I want, I will google for how to exactly do the theming bit. Would throwing in some java script give me enough to do some animation-effects?
Does that mean that I do not need any extra module to have properly looking (and animated) menus, as long as the basic structure stays as it is?
Sorry if I sound kind of newbee, this is because I am (for drupal at least).

I generally do this from scratch, though combinations of menu_block and nice_menus may suffice.
Drupal ships with jQuery, so it is best to use that library for animations. The Drupal.behaviors syntax is the proper implementation, which is not well-documented, but there are many examples in Drupal core/contrib and perhaps some blog post tutorials on the web.
If the JS is particular to a single theme, the best way to add the file is generally via http://drupal.org/node/171205#scripts

I got burned out fighting with the D7 nice menus module's CSS and have found that the superfish module is better out of the box right now. *

<:avglsdata id=avglsdata> It's also better than themes that come with Superfish. It's now a standard for me. But I wish they had settings for colors. Nancy
