November 10th, 2012AWM: How to customize the background of the menu items
Knowledge Base support case for AllWebMenus, abstracted and stripped of all user’s private info.
Initial Email From: Dave
Initial Email Subject: Individual colors for background of main item buttons
Support Case Month: October 2012
I need to customize individual buttons background colors for main items to match the colors in their logo. I can change the background on all of the buttons but that will not work for the individual buttons. Any help greatly appreciated.

Dear Dave,
You can do this by adding customized style values to each item. First click on “All Values” to see the values that can be customized, then change what you want. (“Custom Values” will only show the customized values)

Dear Dave,
Having another look at your project file, I noticed that this is image-based. So it does not have a background color, but a background image instead:
In this case you have to change the Background Image Set:
If you do not find something you like in the existing sets, you can also create your own images and change them individually (i.e. not as a set) there.
Just keep in mind that you have to use images that have the same height in order to prevent the menu from “breaking”.
You could also open the currently used images in a graphic editor and make a copy with different colors. (you will find them in the compiled folder)

Thanks for the info. I will work on that.
I was looking at your Button Maker and it looks like there are some template pieces that look like it would be the same format as the ones I am using. Might be able to use that also..

Indeed, Button Maker has several templates that you could use as a background for your menu items.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that (due to the nature of these buttons) the Button Maker images have a fixed width (which you set), so you do not use them as a “set” but as “Background Image 1” only, setting the “tile image” and “image 2” to “none”.
