 * I installed your menu. Super!
    However I get a menu list with a white shadow 
   behind the links to the pages and also a white line under it. Is that normal?
   Can I change that? Please have a look at [http://www.natuurwerkgroep-rucphen.nl](http://www.natuurwerkgroep-rucphen.nl)

 * I can’t say that its normal, however it **_is_** what your theme has set for 
   widget lists, list items and anchors.
 * And yes, you can change it.
 * Exactly how you would go about changing it depends on your knowledge of CSS, 
   the facilities possibly offered by your theme, and/or your understanding of WordPress.
   I’m guessing that you’re probably not running a child theme – which might make
   things a bit trickier, because if you changed the theme’s stylesheet you’d risk
   losing the changes if/when the theme was updated. You could investigate creating
   a child theme? Or you might consider a plugin that would allow you to put CSS
   directly into WordPress: _CSS & Javascript Toolbox_ might be one such (there 
   are undoubtedly others, and they may even be better suited, but that one sprang
   to mind)? If you need to add classes or an id to CMW, to assist with the styling,
   you can easily do so.

 * Thx for your response, I have no knowledge of CSS, but I have a child theme for
   this theme.
    I already changed the shadow for some headers, with help from other
   people. The headers from the widgets als had a white shadow but that was solved
   with: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { text-shadow: 0 0px 0 transparent; } of course 
   in the Child Theme. Maybe there is someone who reads this who can help me out.
   For sure I will look for the plugins you mentioned. Maybe they can help.

 * Add these to your child theme’s stylesheet:
 *     ```
       .widget_custom_menu_wizard li,
       .widget_custom_menu_wizard li:after {
           border-bottom: 0 none !important;
       }
       .widget_custom_menu_wizard li a {
           text-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent !important;
       }
       ```

 * SUPERRRRR!!!!!
    Thank you so much!
 * If you do not mind could you explain what it does?
    I understand that you use
   the name of the widget you use and that li means list. border bottom none means
   no line under the link? and the last part is to tell that there should be no 
   shadow, am I write?
 * I am 64, but I suppose it is no a bad idea to learn how to use CSS?
    Can you 
   advise me how I could do that. Are there sites to do that?
 * And how long should it take? Forgetting that I am already so old. haha
    I was
   a programmer in the past, many years ago: Cobol But this is so different.
 * But thx again, you helped me a lot.
