How to customize your menu using CSS

The CSS file style.css is located according property StyleFolder
Example: oem.StyleFolder = "Styles/Windows"

Here's how the styles are applied to the menu:

	easyMenu
	easyMenuItemContainer
	easyMenuItem / easyMenuItemOver
	easyMenuItemIconCell / easyMenuItemIconCellOver
	easyMenuItemLeftRoundCornerCell / easyMenuItemLeftRoundCornerCellOver

	easyMenuSeparatorContentCell / easyMenuSeparatorContentCellOver
