I can't figure out how to add new icons for the first level menus.
Any idea?

Thanks

I found it...in template's images directory there is a file: icons.png where are all the sport icons. And in menu.css you'll find the positions for the icons.

A little awkward in my option. Why not just simply select an image?

That is strange. If that is the case, you are limited to the icons used in that png file. What if none of those match your menu item and you want to use a custom image?

Indeed. This happened to me. I have to add new sport icons but, for that, I have to replace the ones I don't need in that image file. Later I have to modify the css file to point to these new icons. Lot of work for a simple need.

It definitely seems like an overly complicated way of doing it.

I turned off the icons on my top level navigation because I don't really need them. I had planned (at a later date) to add logo icons next to each team in the child menu items. Hopefully this is easier than what you are encountering. I've done it before with mega menu and didn't have to jump through these hoops.

Fortunately, that will be one of the last things I do with this site, and since I have so much other work to get done, it will be a while before I have to worry about it. Maybe someone will chime in with an easier approach between now and then.
