Issue Summary
I haven't been able to get the primary link drop down feature to work "out of the box" so to speak with the blackout theme. Am I missing something horribly obvious?
When I compare the css on the demo site to the css my development site is calling, they look completely different. (Sorry... I'd link to my site for immediate comparison, but it's just hosted locally for now.)
I saw the call to nice menus in the source on the demo site, so I thought that may have something to do with it, but when I want to implement nice menus, I notice there's no "header" block to put the nice menu block in. Is there a different way to do this?
I have my primary links, some of which are parents to multiple children pages. But I can't get those children to show their snotty faces when I hover over the parent! >: )
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

might be using nice menu http://drupal.org/project/nice_menus

Thanks for the response... unfortunately implementing nice menus hasn't worked for me. When I go to admin > site building > blocks, there's no default header block for me to put the nice menus in.
I just have left sidebar, right sidebar, content, and footer blocks to work with.
This is a really slick theme, and I'd love to get it working. But it's just been a bit frustrating trying to get it working nicely.

You can just add your own region on the blackout.info
regions[left] = Left sidebarregions[right] = Right sidebar
regions[content] = Content
regions[footer] = Footer
Right below, add:
regions[menu] = MenuThen go to your page.tpl.php, find the print snippet that prints your menu then switch it for $menu (or whatever you wanna wall it)
<?php print $menu; ?>After that, go to admin, performance and clear your cache so the theme is recached.
try adding the nice menu block now :D

@gluetown, did you ever get this sorted?
I got the horizontal menu working with nice menu, but I'm going to need to hack the CSS to make it look pretty. I wonder if I can grab it from the demo? Anywho, just looking at my options. Thanks -

OK I have had a look and it seems the demo site is running a newer version of the theme
with changes that haven't been committed to drupal.org yet.
Notice also the header region/menu area is a bit different.
I will commit the new version as soon as I get a chance.

Same problem as gluetown. Even more, almost all new themes don't let you display children pages below primary links in menus. I have tried also with Drupal 6.17 and zero point, addari, bluemarine... and no one works. I think it could be a problem of Drupal 6.17, because in earlier versions they did work.
Any suggestion?
