Congratulations :tada: The other project looks great :clap:t2::clap:t2::clap:t2:

Hi,

I have a problem with the footer on phone.
The names of the pages are horizontal. Because of this, only the first two pages are visible.
In Classic (RW8) these are vertical.
How can I fix this?

RW8:

Elements:

In Elements, you can change settings for each device, so select the menu, select mobile layout, then select vertical alignments and change the gap.

You can save “•” a different position on each device.

let me know if you need help

Yes! Thanks for the quick and detailed answer! I got it fixed now.

I’m happy to help!

Hi Michelangelo,
Maybe you can help again…

In RW8, in the menu, has the block with the name of the active page a background color. Do you know how I can do this in Elements? In Elements, this block only colors when you hover.

HI @Lalla
I used the standard Elements menu, which doesn’t support backgrounds for individual buttons. I added the background animation to emulate the original theme, but it only works on hover. I’ll see if it’s possible.

@ben could the menu component be updated in future?
Adding backgrounds for buttons would allow everything to be done natively, It would also allow for better-looking menus :folded_hands:

Aha, thanks for the explanation. I’m not in a hurry, so if there is a chance that it become possible somewhere in the near future, we probably better wait.
Hopefully Ben is willing to update the menu… ;-).

Would be nice - following this thread….

I’ll try to be more specific.
The project has a custom component that acts directly on the NAV’s LINK (standard menu) elements, and in my tests, I can identify the active link. However, I haven’t yet been able to do so on folders, which don’t contain links but pages.

Yes, it’s very nice!

In free projects, the main goal is to provide simple examples with native elements. As they are updated, the projects will be too :grinning_face:

It would indeed be nice if this function in this project would work with the native elements.

I know little about building websites and that’s why I chose a standard theme in RW8. I thought switching to Elements would be easy by using the same project (thank you so much for making this!), but I still find it quite difficult…

I would find it a pity if the button of the active page could not have a background colour in an easy way. This is so nice in this RW8 theme.

@dan Any chance this on the list for a future update?

No promises as it’s a bit of a niche feature (no one else has requested it), but we’ll look into it and see what we can do :smiling_face:

Thanks! :crossed_fingers:

(We are with three for this request. How many do you need :winking_face_with_tongue:?)
