Overview

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.
