NEW THEMES: MenuFade (or: where’s the menu?), Menu DropDown and MenuSlider

Dang it Henk. I just got a bunch of my site pages done in Coloroll and Magazine and then you come out with yet another one. I thought you were on vacation, shees. You are wearing me out man! Of course I bought it as soon as I saw it just like all the rest in the year plus that I have been using RapidWeaver. I don’t guess I can complain about not having enough interesting new menu options. Henk seems to read my mind. I was looking for something with a small header area and a new interesting menu concept. I just got my home page redone in one of the menu themes and then I get the note that there is a 5th menu option, now I have to “burn the midnight oil” again!

Here is a look at a few Henk themes, soon there will be a few pages in the menu themes, if Henk gives me a breather that is.

Hope I am not embarrassing our theme author too badly with my weak attempts at applying his work.

As I wrote a few days ago I’ve made another MENU theme: MENU SLIDER

The other 4 themes are updated too: there was no colour option for the sidebarheader text in the previous ones. And I’ve made another manual.

All buyers have received this updated bundle a few minutes ago.

I hope you enjoy the new theme Smile
Henk

Henk,

Sorry but I have not received an e-mail for the new theme. What do I need to do.

Cheers
Norman

WAOW!!!  SUPER!!!

I have been reading all the messages you wrote to Henk. Pffff what can I say more?!! How can I express myself better than all this?!

This is really great!!! I recommend you to have these themes in you RW library.

I am big fan of Henk Wink .  My own site is made with one of his latest themes Colorrol and now I would like to make something with one of these (first I have to choose which I like more and that’s difficult Undecided, Laugh , but a client and friend of mine liked it too and he asked me to do something with MenuFade Split. So I will do that before.

I have got one question maybe some of you know. Henk gives the possibility of 10 headerimages. Oke, oke I know that is a lot, but I would like to change each page of the site with an other image. Do you know if that is possible, to have more headerimages than the 10 headerimages that Henk offers in these themes??

Maybe one of you can show us what you made with these themes? I am sure we can make great professional work with these.

Thank you very much Henk!!
Not only for your great themes you make for us, but also for you daily help you give us here in this forum. You are allways here to help us, and not only with your themes

Kind Regards,

Saludos,
Yolanda

Thanks Yolanda (from, I presume, a very sunny Spain...).

Yes, these themes have 10 options in the Theme Styles for a headerimage. But when your website has a lot of pages and you prefer a different image on each page do this:

• 1. Add your image (it has for example the name spain.jpg) to the Assets (Page-Inspector > Header > Assets). The height has a maximum size of 115px and a width of 1100px (or less when you use another Container width in the Theme Styles).

• 2. Paste this code in the Custom CSS now:

#pageHeader {
    background: url(images/bg_images/spain.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}

In Preview your new headerimage shows up. Easy? This can be done with almost every theme when the headerimage is in the pageHeader.

Henk

Indeed it would be nice to see what you’ve made with these themes Smile

Thank you very much Henk. I knew I could count on you. (again). 
And if I can use these for other themes that would be really usefull.

Not all the themes gives you 10 headerimages like you do so I think many of us can use this great tip.

Have a nice weekend.

Henk, I watched your new themes Menu Dropdown and MenuFade. They are really wonderful. Excellent job! By the way, is it possible to make the Menu-button of the Menufade-theme higher than the header-hight? Hope you understand the question.

 

Henk Vrieselaar
#41.  Posted: 19th July 2009 05:37 PM

Thanks Pim,

Yes, that’s possible indeed and you’ll get a nice long menu-button (the MenuTab).
I’ve made an example of it on this page (with blink-effect, but you can disable this).

When the sidebar is right or hidden paste this in the Custom CSS:

#sideBarTab{
    height: 600px;
}

#myExtraContent2,
#myExtraContent3,
#contentContainer #content {
    padding-left: 95px;
}

The height of the MenuTab (the sidebarTab in the code above) in this example is 600px. You can increase or decrease it until you’re satisfied.
The padding-left of the Content is 95px in this example with a MenuTab width of (by default) 60px. When you choose another MenuTab width in the Theme Styles, for example 100px, you have to increase the padding-left of the Content to 135px (95 + 40).

When the sidebar is left paste this in the Custom CSS:

#sideBarTab{
    height: 600px;
}

#myExtraContent2,
#myExtraContent3,
#sidebarContainer #sidebar {
    padding-left: 95px;
}

The padding-left of the Sidebar is 95px in this example with a MenuTab width of (by default) 60px. When you choose another MenuTab width in the Theme Styles, for example 100px, you have to increase the padding-left of the Sidebar to 135px.

As usual, another great theme from you Henk.

Regards and don’t get tired ....

Hello, Love this very elegant menu,

As always, I like to gut things in order to get the essence.  There seems to be some padding above the container, about 10px as can be seen in the attached screen shot, above the white container border.

Could anybody tell me what would the CSS be to remove that?

You’ve made a lot of changes to the css. When you paste this in the Custom CSS the stroke above the container will be gone:

#container {
    margin-top: 0;
}

Thank you Henk.  It works indeed, although “of course” should follow, since obviously you should know.

Is it a problem to change the CSS as much as you say I have?  I always wonder if it would not be better alter the construction of the theme (not that I would know how to do that) and change things there rather than through CSS afterward?  It seems that the theme does its thing first, then the user asks it to undo stuff through CSS, and if that only takes place when the page is uploaded, then that’s fine, but if it does that when the page is downloaded in the viewer’s browser, then it probably slows down things, does it not?  You see, I know what I want but I don’t know what I am doing.

Anyway, what you see in attachment is just a test page, and the text that you see behind the menu is just to show that I can put stuff there, ultimately this would become some kind of header for instance.  But how could I lower the menu, as if I had a logo in the top left corner and wanted teh menu below that?

Also, I thought that the CSS that I have from another theme would work here to change the font, but it does not, and I would like to change it to Garamond, Times New Roman?  ( I can’t stand Georgia, which I can say savantly since I endure living in the south of the U.S.)

Cheers,
