How about a TOOLTIP color and opacity setting for the sitemenu?
As well, perhaps remove the "<" and ">" symbols from the autohidemenutext option? This might give more flexibility for those want to use alternate symbols, such as myself.
WORKAROUND: In order to remove these symbols, I actually added a "<" to the beginning of my autohidemenutext and a ">" to the end. I then added roughly 50 spaces between these symbols and my 'wanted' test. It works fine at the moment for resolutions 1400px wide and smaller.
Just some thoughts!
Thanks!
