Update Maximenu / transparent Dropdown-Menu

hi together
I have a bit a special situation and hope i can find some help for my problem:

i bought a template for joomla 1.7 to make my own homepage. ( Link ) In this template is the older version of maximenu 4.33 inside. i made a local installation of joomla 1.7 on my server to customize the template for my own use.
After i had some problems to customize i bought the plugin for the maximenu to customize it with a GUI. (size and position of dropdownmenu) unfornately the changes in the plugin have not any impact to the dropdownmenu.
i thought i have some problem with wrong versions of my environment and made a update of the joomla to 2.x
but unfortunately it was not the solution.


i like the style of the navigation on the original template very much and i would not like to change it. now my questions:

- is it possible to make a navigation with the new version of maximenu in exactly the same style like on the example page above?
- or, can i update the old version of maximenu and keep the style and use the parameter plugin
- is it possible to use maximenu 4.33 and the parameter plugin with joomla 2.5.x
- is it possible to make the dropdownmenue a bit transparent?

thank you for your suport

Hi
you can upgrade your maximenu theme with a tutorial here :
tutoriels-joomla.joomlack.fr/tutoriels-j...s-maximenu-ck-6.html
The best would be to upgrade your website to 2.5, but if you have already purchased the plugin I can send you a version for 1.7 that may work in your situation (you must ask me by email).
And finally if you don't manage to do what you want, I give you a dedicated assistance for 1€ / minute, to do you theme for example. (contact me by email).
