Great point about the flexibility of Thesis Skins, Michael.

We design all of our Skins in a way that makes them suitable as standalone designs or as the basis for highly customized designs.

In your case, the functionality you like may indeed be offered in both Skins, but since I don’t know precisely what you like about Effectus, I can’t say for sure.

Yes, you can add menus a variety of ways (via Widgets, custom code, etc), and each of these ways is compatible with Thesis Skins.

Most people simply use the WP Menu widget to do what you’ve described here.

Yes! You can drop code like this into the Action Box or into any Text Box (which you can place anywhere you want in your design!).
