I am trying to use radmenu to create a custom looking menu that will have 2nd and 3rd level dropdowns.
I've attached an image of what the menu should look like.
My question is, what direction should I go with trying to do this?
I believe I could
1) go with no skin, and just try to override things with CSS declarations.
2) go with a custom skin, and try to build everything I want in terms of appearance into the custom skin
3) use all item templates and define the elements in there.
With my really limited knowledge of these topics I'm leaning toward using item templates, where I think I should be able to control the look of these things pretty well, but I may be wrong.
Can anyone give me some advice?

Hello Chris,
I would create a custom skin, instead of ItemTemplates because with ItemTemplates your just adding more HTML to your page and if you make one change to one of the templates, you'll need to do the same for the others (i.e. change width/height). With a custom skin, you have all the styles in one place and you have more control over the menu layout and levels.
I hope that helps.
