The showcase area is where the logo, top and header modules/elements are contained. By default, this is the blue cloud area. With this setting, you can replace this will a plain, white background for the conservative approach.
Parallax is the javascript effect which moves the cloud images in the showcase area from left-right, but in a relative motion.
Warn your visitors using Internet Explorer 6 to upgrade to a more secure version with this toggle. This option activates a javascript based dropdown in IE6 at the top of the template where a description of why IE6 is a redundant browser is visible. The warning will only appear once as its stored via a cookie.
You can choose which font you would like to use for your content item, these are all web standard fonts.
Choose whether module titles are multi-coloured by enabling Font Spans.

Vertigo is bundled with 4 menu options, 3 of which are integrated menu approaches. These are splitmenu, moomenu, suckerfish and module. Splitmenu displays the 1st level menu items in the horizontal bar and the 2nd in the side column; moomenu and suckerfish display the menu items in dropdown lists with moomenu having a javascript powered approach; and the module options turns the menu bar into the toolbar module position so you can insert modules into the area (this will disable the menu however). You can also select none so the entire horizontal menu does not appear.
