Styling SUPERFISH

Permalink
First I want you all to know that I'm one of those guys that will look at code till my eyes bleed...just kidding. But when it comes to html, css, js, and php I can read and edit like a mad scientist.

My problem here is styling Superfish. Now I know that I could hard code the template to create a drop down without the use of this add-on but why work so hard if the solution cost only $15 bucks.

I've gone into the default stylesheet for the add-on and tried to override it's styling. No luck there.

I really need the freedom to style this add-on without having to work so hard looking at it's defaults. Is there a simpler method that I should use for this.

Can I create a template like with other add-ons. If so, where do I start.

I would personally just create a superfish custom template if your looking for creating a very customized drop down menu.

Thats what i did, if the template already has dropdown capabilities, then i just make a custom template,

editing the css should work, clear your cache

I would rather do just that but where do I start with this add-on?

I have the styles that I would love to use but I have no clue how to apply them to Superfish.

I usually override Superfish styles in my mian.css style sheet. I use Firebug to find what styles I need to change then prefix style classes or ids with #page #headerNav or wherever the block is installed. Sometimes you need to add a !important. 

#page #headerNav li.nav-selected a {
   [Some kind of styling]
}
#page #headerNav li.nav-selected ul li a  {
   [Some kind of styling]
}

If not you should ask this as a support question in the superfish add-on area.

Andrews answer was great help. Here is the link to the staging of the site that I'm developing using C5.

Just got a new issue that I need an answer for but I will start a new discussion.

Thanks.

PS: I'm also working on creating a barebones template off what I did so that others can easily style SuperFish.
