Text Menu Applet

This applet has won the  prize(04/09/98)
Hi everyone. You are looking at the most VERSATILE menu applet, and the best thing is that you can can create quickly and easily url menus, either Horizontal or Vertical, WITHOUT creating images. The combinations as you will see in these examples are countless. When the mouse is over text then it can change it's font color, font size, font style and background color. Text Menu supports center, left and right alignment. Also now (19/09/98) textmenu has a parameter called sticky(see example 2), like my image menu applet.
Vertical Examples:
