here is a great site with all kinds of css menues, etc

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/

as far as wicket-widgets, we have such a project already - its called wicket-extensions :)

usually widgets start incubation as a wicket-contrib-<widget> project and once they mature we move them into extensions. this happened to quiete a few things already

the repeaters package (dataview/datatable/etc)
the upload progress bar
the palette component

etc etc

These articles seem to address your CSS needs. The mark-up structure is

Background images and divider images are specified in the CSS, which
could be good or bad depending on your goals. It works for me;)

There may be better ways, using AJAX for instance, but this should give
you a place to start at least.
