Navbar dropdown appearance

Jamesbjenkins

Hey all, I'm really hating the look of the navbar dropdown links, the way it throws a box out to the side with a different background.

All I want to for the dropdown link to fly down from its parent, in the same look and formatting as its parent, right underneath its parent. If I have 3 sublinks, I want all three of them to fly down together with the same formatting as their parent.

This should be default and extremely easy to do. I can't figure out any way to do that without using special CSS.

Help?

Hello?

Sir_Eagle

This is what I used to change mine a bit. Add it to a css box for the entire site.

/*CHANGE SIZE AND COLOR OF DROPDOWN MENU BOXES*/
.yui3-menu-item>.yui3-menu-label {
padding: 1px 46px 2px 22px;
background-color: rgba(90, 90, 90, .99);
font-size: 16px;
}

Changing the rgba numbers will change the color. You can google what numbers make what color.

Thanks for the input, but this does nothing to affect the style of the flyout (i.e. the ugly box, covering up content on the page) all I want is a fly out that brings the sublinks straight down from the parent. Same style and formatting. The current default looks awful and amateur.

I had all this setup via javascript on my legacy site, but we all know that answer is gone now.

Can I get some word from a hero or mod on this please?

Yeah sorry to keep blowing this up all over this board, but I would really like to make the flout menu transparent... any ideas?

Same Question
I would like to know the answer to this as well. I have considered changing to a different website service because of this problem with the new site. If anyone can offer a solution it would be much appreciated. I think the sublink appearance is pretty bad as it stands.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, the simple solution is to change the menu style to accordion. It's one of the options in the dropdown on the layout of the navbar in the customizer.

I was going to take a look at your site, but your URL doesn't work.

Same here. Your site comes up, but galleries cause a 404.

Me too.

This is a link from you menu: [URL]http:///portfolio/weddings[/URL]
where is should be: http://www.captured-photos.com/Portfolio/Weddings , which does work.

Did you manually enter the links?
you somehow deleted a part of the URL
AND
the links are now case sensitive (which, IMHO, is the single most stupid thing with the new SM).
