Those tabs are built by the Menu Builder, this is how it works.  In the main menu builder you place a main block (purple in color).  This is the item that shows on the main site menu bar.  Every block you add under the main block (child block) are the items that appear when you hover over the main block on the menu bar.  These child blocks are what dolphin uses to create the sub menu.


So if you wish to customize, remove, or add to that sub menu you simply need to add or take away child blocks in the main menu builder.

In your example, the main block is Articles, and Articles Home, Popular, etc are the children blocks.

I don't know if you can replace the words in the submenu with pictures instead of text.  To test this open a child block and in the line for "icon" put in the icon location and test.

I'm sorry I should have stated my question better. All I'm trying to do is change the color. I was able to change the top menu by downloading picture file and then editing it in photoshop and then uploading same file and overwriting the other. The problem I'm having is I can't find the center part of the picture shown. If that is part of the menu generator you are referring to then sorry, this is way over my head. Thanks for replying.

How would you change the color of the text in the tabs. I would like to change it to white and make it a littler bolder. Thanks in advance.

To change the color of those text tabs just use inline style in the language file.  Example: find the key for the Articles Archive and change it from Articles Archives to <span style="color:blue; font-weight:bold">Article Archives</span> .

Just change the color to what you want.  Of course beware that the font will be bold regardless if the item is selected or not, by default the item is bold when selected.  If you want it more bold, change the font-weight attribute to "bolder" (it is a real attribute name, seriously)

As to the background of the button, that is a picture.  You can change all 3 pictures to what you want in the BxBaseMenu.php (templates/base/scripts/)

In that file find this function

function genSubItem( $sCaption, $sLink, $sTarget, $sOnclick, $bActive ) {
$sIc alt= getTemplateImage("tm_cm_item_left_act.png");       
$sIc alt= getTemplateImage("tm_cm_item_center_act.png");
$sIc alt= getTemplateImage("tm_cm_item_right_act.png");

Those are the 3 pictures you need to update to update the button accordingly.  Those pictures can be found in the templates/base/images/ folder.  the item_left_act and item_right_act are the button bookend pictures and the center picture is item_center_act.

Thanks you very much will try.
