Hi Dan,

I’ve watched almost all your videos now and can’t even manage to create a usable menu with Elements.

Here is an example.

 ![Elements and Safari](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/4/e4dbd5be89ed566e6e395a43a71af8e9bba3cd61.png)  
In Elements the SVG logo is not displayed, but it is in Safari. The logo cannot be left-aligned and is too small.  
I don’t need menu entries for Home and Impressum. However, I cannot switch these off. The space between the menu entries is too large and I would like to have borders around the entries. See the same menu in Classic.

 ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/9/2978c5b46438b67e8f11171dd806f21b75ffb663.png)

How do I create such a menu with Elements???

How can I set the links in the footer?

Yes, we’re redoing the menu components entirely.

If you have a specific requests for types of navigation you’d like to see please let us know. We’ll be tackling this soon.

Well ok here’s a wish : is it possible with dropdown menu to have a color cascade with the colors that matches the country flag of the visitor web browser ? 🧐

Hmmm, that’s a very specific request… might be best to build a custom component to achieve that one.

Do you know of any sites that have this? (so I can see exactly what you mean).

Collapsible sidebar that goes responsive on small screens with fly-in from left or right side. Only one section should remain open at a time.

> **[Examples](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/)**
>
> Quickly get a project started with any of our examples ranging from using parts of the framework to custom components and layouts.

EDIT: scroll down to sidebar and look at the examples.

EDIT-edit: it should also have an active state so the reader knows what page they are on.

@dan When I add a button to the menu, it doesn’t appear in the mobile menu. Is it supposed to be like that?

Dan, can you make sure the Menu drops down to at least three levels.

It would be very useful to be able to have some “hooks” in the menus to be able to decide whether a menu item should be output or not. For example, you might have a menu that has additional items if you are logged into the website.

I am thinking of a mechansim that would enable you to insert PHP code or javscript that could decide whether a menu item was output.

The way I would do it at the moment is just to duplicate the menu but that creates problems in that if you make style or other changes to one, you have to repeat it for the other.
