Actually, Richard, there is an immense amount of room for customization
in FWMX through the Appearance area of the Button Editor. You can apply
custom textures, LiveEffects, backgrounds and fonts to the menus, create
the styles in Freehand and import them in, save them and share them with
the crew.

Subject: Drop Down Menus

As discussed briefly on this list last week, making drop down menus
with Dreamweaver and Fireworks MX is easy. I spent a good four hours
working with the Project VII drop-down menu tutorial from Dreamweaver
Magic on Thursday, and I almost got it working... (The drop downs
worked fine every step of the way, until I started adding some
content to the page, the tutorial's last step.... so I'm confident
the problem would have been resolved with a little effort).

Anyway... I started playing with Fireworks MX on Friday, and
accomplished basically the same thing in about 20 minutes. Amazingly
simple, actually.

I can see a few problems with the Fireworks MX approach, as it
doesn't allow for that much customization... But still, it's pretty
slick.

Now, having said that, I'm not abandoning Project VII. There is lots
of good work there, and I will always find inspiration from designers
who can help me see the future with a little more clarity.

Cheers,

Richard
