The following pages show examples of just some of the more than 140+ unique graphic template designs supplied with Xara Menu Maker, many with further variations.

Remember that when using Menu Maker, you can make graphics any color and any size you like, and can change the font, color and text of any of the objects.

Navigation bars can have up to three states of rollovers - MouseOver, MouseOff and Selected. You can add DHTML menus to them as well. When you make a NavBar & Menu in Menu Maker, the program will export all the necessary HTML and JavaScript for you too.

There are plenty of bitmap collections available, but the essential difference is that Menu Maker is a vector package, which means that all of the graphics can be edited without loss of quality. There's really no competition. You can, of course, rescale a bitmap. But it will become highly pixelated...and you cannot change the color and wording at all. You're stuck with what you get.

Menu Maker gives you total control over the appearance of the graphic so that you can create an almost infinite collection of different graphics from the base of high quality, professionally designed templates. You can change the graphic, text, and background color, and the colors of various elements of each graphic. You can also change the text, font size, type, change the size of the graphic, anti-alias to a particular background color, automatically create a navigation bar with JavaScript rollover commands (all of the code is automatically generated for you)...and control the appearance of each button state in the bar (as well as setting URL addresses).

Xara Menu Maker is also extensible. Periodically, we will be producing extra template packs for use with Menu Maker. These packs can be downloaded from our website (www.xara.com) and will install into the Menu Maker directory, adding even more graphics templates to the program. Again, all of these templates will be in vector format as well, allowing you to personalize them to fit your graphics needs.
