In /includes/coolmenu.php find:

oCMenu=new makeCM("oCMenu") //Making the menu object. Argument: menuname

 //Menu properties
 oCMenu.pxBetween=0
 oCMenu.fromLeft=10
 oCMenu.fromTop=166
 oCMenu.rows=0
 oCMenu.menuPlacement="left"

change the numbers in these two lines to position the menu into your categories box. :

oCMenu.fromLeft=10
 oCMenu.fromTop=166

All Trial & Error.

To late to edit.

Also do the following:

Find this line:

oCMenu.level[0].width=121

to change the width of the menu.

Then find:

$height.= 11.45*count($categories);

to change the height of the menu. Anytime you add a new category you will have to alter this line of code.

To change the width of the subcategories alter this line:

oCMenu.level[' . $i . '].width=125

Hope this helps somewhat.

Glad you have it settled. Change this line:

oCMenu.level[0].width=121

to make the menu fill the width of the categories box. Probably 125.

 

Change this line:

oCMenu.level[1].width=250

to alter the width of the subcategories
