CustoMenu is an extremely powerful menu module. It gives you full control over the display of your menu. You can use one of your menus or be completely independent of the Joomla! menu structure by selecting items from different menu's. You get a bunch of Advanced Parameters to your disposal.
Advanced Parameters include:
- Override item names and/or links.
- Active state when child item is opened.
- Active state when any other defined set of menu items is opened.
- Full control over layouts and styles
- Turn your menu into a image only menu
Fully stylable
CustoMenu comes with a number of different layouts. You can change these and add your own. So you have full controll over the HTML structure of your menu.
Also the stylesheets can be turned to your hand. This means you have full control over the display properties through the use of CSS. You can use the CSS file that comes with the package, and change that to your likings or add your own.
1-Level
This menu is a 1-level menu. So if you are looking for a menu with pull downs or trees, look further. But for many sites a 1-level (main) menu is just what is desired.
So the menu you see at the top of this website is NOT a CustoMenu. CustoMenu does NOT support sub menus!!!
(The menu I am currently using in this website is the Lightweight DropDown Menu. But I advise the Superfish Dropdown Menu.)
Output Extra CSS
This feature gives you the ability to include extra CSS files related to the active menu item. This means that you can have different backgrounds, color schemes or whatever per menu item.
(version(s) for Joomla! 1.0 has less features and support)
Version 2.2.0 is different to versions 2.1.6 and before.
If you are going to update, some settings will be lost.
Also, the styles will be different, so you will probably need to adjust your stylesheet.
Make sure you backup your stylesheets and images before updating.
Please uninstall the old CustoMenu plugin. The new version has no plugin, it is no longer needed.

Here is an overview of the different versions CustoMenu:
Yes, that's right. There is no difference in these versions except the price. So why pay? To support me :)
Commercial licensing?
I am planning to have commercial versions of my extensions.
Meaning the free versions will be available for non-commercial websites and for testing.
But I will ask a (small?) fee for the use of the extension on commercial websites.
The idea is to have a domain license (one for every extension). So the license will be valid for the given domain (and it's subdomains).
What are you willing to pay?
Can you please tell me what you would be willing to pay for each a commercial domain license?
Just to give me an idea what would be reasonable to ask as a fee.
This poll regards all extensions, not just 'CustoMenu'.
