Bendigo* Top menu, footer
Sydney* Top menu, footer
Vintage* Top menu, footer
Georgia* Top menu, footer
Antiqua Top menu, side menu, footer
Minimal* Main menu, footer
Dream* Main menu, side menu, footer
Seattle* Main menu, side menu, footer
Showtime* Main menu, footer
Fresh Top menu, side menu, footer

(* You can change which menu appears in the header section of your site if you are using the Simple, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Darwin, Bendigo, Vintage, Georgia, Minimal, Dream, Seattle or Showtime themes. Go to Design & Assets > Theme editor and change which menu is used in the Store Header options under Theme Settings.)
