Hi,

Well, the MENU* templates are for the menus, and it's a dropdown menu, so there's MENU_dropdown.tpl and MENU_BRANCH_dropdown.tpl primarily. And there is an obviously-named CSS file also.

I can't see how editing the menu templates would help though, you'd have to set a tiny font size or removing a lot of spacing, only to fit a tiny amount more in.

You probably want to better utilise the drop-down menu capabilities by putting stuff underneath branches, so it's not all laid horizontally. You'd do that in the menu editor.

Or, you want to edit GLOBAL_HTML_WRAP.tpl to change the header in general, e.g. removing notifications so there's more space for the menu.

  • If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
  • If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
  • If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
