The only thing I added here is the ' art-vmenu' (with space) value in de UL class name, which does apply part of the style, but only to the subitems and not to the main items (probably because the module outputs them as H3 in stead of UL > LI items as I stated in my original post). Something caught my eye though... I don't have any 'Inherit' setting in my module settings screen. Is it possible that my modules haven't been updated to the latest version? Or is there a global setting that makes these choices show up? Thanks for your help!

Thanks in advance, MF I'm using Joomla 2.5.6 and Hikashop 1.5.8")* Well, it's not really a matter of not being able to... I guess I could rewrite the template CSS and see if I can get it to work, but since Artisteer creates a template that's working perfectly with 'normal' Joomla menu modules, I was wondering why Hikashop chooses to output the data in this non-standard way. Also, when I start making manual changes to the template I'll probably run into trouble when I want to update the template in the future... Right now, to make this work, the only options I have is rewrite the CSS myself (not only for the H3 items in my 2-level menu, but also for Hika's LI items, which in a normal 2-level Joomla menu are sublist items, not just LI items) or creating a menu manually, which is a lot of work to set up for a site with 100 categories in 3 levels (not to mention the maintenance of that menu when Hika-categories are moved around a lot...). 7 months ago I talked about this issue ([ in another context](http://www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/35611-nested-subcategories-in-content-module.html)) with Nicolas and he mentioned the module is also limited to a 2-level output. He stated that making it a real multilevel-list-outputting-module was on the todo list? I for one (and I'm sure more Hikashop customers) would be delighted to have this 'fixed'! ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Thanks again!
