About This Site

This is the demo site for Thesis Theme Tools. There are several demos on this page:

Multilevel Menu with CSS and JavaScript. Click on the tab to the right to learn more.
Rotating Header Image. Just refresh the screen and you will see another image. It's super-easy to implement and is a great addition to any site. The Thesis Theme Tools article with full information is Tutorial: Rotating Header Images.
Widgetized "Fat" Footer. Note that it can hold anything a regular sidebar can -- the widgets work exactly the same. Learn more about this footer on Thesis Theme Tools in the article Tutorial: Widgetized "Fat" Footer.
This Tabbed Info Pane. It can put a lot of information in a small space, and can hold anything you can put in HTML and PHP, even widgets! The tutorial is found in the Thesis Theme Tools article Tutorial: Tabbed Info Pane.
Custom Pages. Many of the pages demonstrating other menus and features lead to custom pages. These use conditional tags in custom_functions.php to load just the files necessary to run them to prevent unnecessary code and potential conflicts.

Multilevel Dropdown Menu

The Multilevel Menu with CSS and JavaScript can have up to 3 levels of dropdowns. It comes in two versions: The "Thesis"-like version currently displayed on this page, and a colored version. Both are fully customizable to anything you want them to be.

The article "Tutorial: Multilevel Menu with CSS and JavaScript" describing the menu is on Thesis Theme Tools. There is a zip file available which has everything you need to put this versatile menu on your site!
