Configuration File (magicoptions.html)
As The UVM Web template is improved and grows over time, more and more features are added. While this gives UVM Webmasters more control over the look and functionality of their sites, it also makes for a very crowded zero line in the defaultmenu.html file. To alleviate this problem, a configuration file, named magicoptions.html can be created and saved in the root directory of your site.
The magicoptions.html takes a similar format as defaultmenu.html; an html table with two or three columns and an unlimited number of rows. The first column holds the option name, and the second column holds the option value (see the table below for a list of all the available options). The third column can hold a short description of the options effect or notes for quick reference, but is completely optional.
