Scalability / Menu Content
- high scalability: 1000's of entries per single file
- expandable scalability: runtime index file exchanges
(e.g. for context-sensitive menus)
- six hierarchical levels available: top level and 5 submenu levels
- indices may be loaded from external files, server-side scripts,
parameters or client-side scripts
- database-friendly
- new DBCS-friendly file-reading (of interest to Chinese, Japanese and Korean users)
- 100% XIXL-compatible indices
Sliding Characteristics
- 10 slide effects: top-down, bottom-up, reveal, fast squeeze, smooth squeeze, slats, pop-slats, unilateral slots, bilateral slots, flick
- speed controls
- separate trigger controls for top level and first submenu level: mouse-click or mouse-over may be chosen; deeper levels must be mouse-click activated (for user-clarity)
- auto-closure of folders to maintain menu-tidiness and user-friendliness
Text Formatting
- 18 colour parameters, each with 16.7 million possible values
- triple-state text colouring: normal, mouse-over, pressed

- text alignment: left, centre or right
- text indentation option for creating tree effects
- text margin and offset parameters for fine adjusting of text position
Icon Formatting
- 12 internal icons (inc. 2 double-state icons)
- 3 icon positions (page, open folder, closed folder) per level
- any of the 15 internal icons can be assigned to any of the 16 icon positions
- 36 icon colour parameters, each with 16.7 million possible values
- icon colour variation for normal, mouse-over and pressed states
- separately define icon colour sets for each hierarchical level
- icons can be completely removed
- icons can be aligned on the left or right of the text
- icons can be indented for tree effects, both right- and left-aligned
- fine positioning parameters for icons
