The best part about this menu is that you can give it any colour you want because here we are using a transparent gradient image which can take any colour you want. Like:
different colours
Now kindly make these customization changes:

  • Each TAB can be edited by understanding the following simple HTML code, 
<li><a href="#">TAB TEXT</a></li>

In each case replace the hash sign (#) with your page URL/link and replace the text with your page title. I have kept the page titles unchanged in the code above so that you could easily edit them by seeing the demo.

  • To change the color of the menu simply replace #0080ff with a colour of your choice. You may use our Color Generator tool
That's it! Save your widget and see the magic right in your blogs! :)
