Thanks. I also find that not using a fluid forum style above about 95% to be best. It keeps the menu bar outside the forum edge and is less intrusive, but also more prominent, if that makes sense.

Certainly does make sense...
It does seem to be less obtrusive when using a fluid forum style below 95%...I actually got it to blend in nicely on my fluid forum...I used images (instead of text color codes) for the headers and menu bar, themselves. Doing this...I was able to blend the menu bar into my forum's border...providing a less obtrusive menu...and customized to the forum's look. Using the "Properties" page, I've include in this thread, leaves one's imagination to run wild...
If you visit the link to the Omni Slide page at DD which is listed at the top of the page...you can also find code to make this menu work on the left, right, or top of your forum...it just depends on one's preferences.
Thanks for replying, Bob...and I appreciate your installing this mod...
Members with Mozilla report the menu is permanently open.

I just checked the post on your forum from the user who is having problems with his outdated version of FF. Updating to the most recent browser would probably fix this...also updating his current version of Java may help as well.
