This is called CSS Spotlight Menu and idea and code provided by Dynamic Drive. I just update some code and share this in easy step here. Spotlight Menu takes advantage of CSS3’s border-radius property and transitions to add a circular background to its menu items when the mouse rolls over each one. The result is a Flash-like, sleek spotlight menu! The circular background appears in all major browsers, including IE9, while the transition effect works in browsers that support CSS3 transitions, namely, FF3.5+, Safari 3.1+, Google Chrome, and Opera 11.6+.
If you are asking how it works, First you implant this and see yourself how awesome it is…! Menu remains simple untill you move your cursor on it. When you make it hover there appear a square box that automatically start rounding its corner and finally it become circle as in the upper screen shoot.Is not Awesome…??? Just do it now…
