This page describes the XML attributes for the XUI menus. They are used by the XUI files in the \skins\default\xui folders. You can find attributes for other XUI elements at:

Many XUI elements share the same parameters. Rather than repeatedly describing them, we just list their names here and describe them at Skinning HowTo/Common XUI XML parameters.
