My site is inhttp://www.animekensei.com

The only thing I don't like in its design is the main menu. I'm using Multi Menu, and I'd like to have a modern and beautiful menu. How can I do that? I thank you suggestions, how to's, and so on.

Something I do from time to time is clone the default template set and create a custom template for system_block_mainmenu.html.

Here is an example of one I've used in the past...

It requires more work than a third party module, but you have a much tighter control over presentation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answers.

Something like this (on joomla):http://www.xbox360pt.com/

Is there any module?
