Adrian A. commented on CLK-512:
-------------------------------
Personally I like allot that for the Table control has this possibility and I
can choose a very good style with only 1 line of code.
It fits very well the 80/20 concept. If I need something more, than I can make
my own style, but most of the cases I won't.
I think the same should be for Click Menu too.
We must distinct here between: Web Site like application (publicly exposed) and
pure webapp (e.g. the many admin UIs for the various sites/apps). The users
would greatly benefit like in the case of the Table of having a quick and very
good solution for 80% of the cases.
Also having more than a style for the menu is a great starting point if users
want to further customize: e.g. in the case of the Table, users mostly just
modified a little one of the existing styles - they haven't implemented it from
zero.
Styling all controls is not necessary because most of them have very very good
defaults already :).

> Please create a DropdownMenu control.
> This would be basically what the actual menu in click-examples does (+more
> looks).
> Here is a list of various decorations the DropdownMenu could take:
> http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/tools/dropdown-navigation-menus/
> It would be very helpful if the DropdownMenu would simply allow to choose
> another decoration,
> e.g. exactly like it's possible with the Table control:
> http://www.avoka.com/click-examples/table/table-styles.htm
> (there are many good styles at that blog page)
> This would save users allot of work - the same way the Table control does.
> I think the Menu control should be than more generic (not the dropdown
> version that it is now), and it should be simpler
> to extend. For this it would also require additional properties, mentioned
> below:
