Hi,

I have too many items in the menu. When it continues onto the second line, the background color doesn’t follow.

You can see it at: http://72.41.182.147/index.php

Is there a fix please?

Thanks,

Dean

I have to admit I haven’t run up this template and looked at any of the menu options as yet, but
The template design is to emulate tabs as menu items blocks, by exceeding the usable number of items, the tabs cannot replicate to the next line as the black bkg doesn’t drop as you noticed. You may be able to modify the size of the main text in the css file to the same as the smaller text to allow a few more items across the width etc?

The suckerfish or transmenu options will allow you to redo your menus to suit a sub menu drop down that would allow many more choices with out compromising the layout
I hope this has been helpful to you

Personally I don’t think that it is a good idea to have two rows in the main menu. Less is sometimes more.

How about changing the menu item “what we do” to => “About us” renaming the former “about us” to “What we do” and moving the last two menu entries (“letters of gratitude” and “newsroom”) to “about us”?

This way you would have everything in one row and everything would be easy to find.

Problem with two rows is not only the background color. If you want to move the mouse to a submenu of the first row you will lose contact to the submenu as soon as the mouse meets the second row. Try it out … this is not good for utilisation of the site.

Thanks both of you. I am going to rethink this. I am moving an existing site into Joomla and this is the way they had it – smaller fonts of course.
