You can style the menu by copy and pasting the code from the <a href="http://geek.ryanhellyer.net/suckerfish_css/">Suckerfish CSS Generator page</a>.

The Multi-level Navigation Plugin can be implemented into any theme design.

Special thanks to <a href="http://transientmonkey.com/">malcalevak</a> who was a massive help with optomising the code for this plugin.
