Hi,

The menu is coded so it triggers the native navigation system of the phone, it’s not a hack, I just think it’s the best approach, so yes it’s a select html element behind a graphic as it is not possible to style a select html tag.

Technically the menu doesn’t need to work on desktop if you view the template on mobile sizes, as it is not a real world situation.

Thanks, Greg

This is a great theme Greg, but it’s a really hack menu.

It’s super-hacky on touch screens [iPhones and iPads] as ~80% of the graphic doesn’t trigger the menu. Only the hidden select element does, but it’s only the top ~20% of the graphic.

If I view the template at half-screen on a MacBook Air the menu doesn’t work, at all. And even worse, visually, it looks to be a functioning menu, but nothing happens when you click it.

It’s presumptuous to dictate to what is and isn’t a “real world situation”. Especially when a real user stumbles across a real menu issue when really using your theme.

Hi,

Well it is certainly not supposed to be that problematic, so maybe I’m missing something. What you are describing about touch screens is a bit strange so I’ll check that out, as it works perfectly fine on my android devices and it worked fine when I tested on iphone last time, so maybe something broke since.

Regarding desktop view, the menu as you see it on fullscreen should behave that way down to 768px window width (up to when the logo/menu becomes a grey bar fixed at the top), under that resolution, the menu should still trigger a dropdown menu on desktop (which actually triggers native navigation on mobile devices).

What I meant by real world situation, is that in this case you are a previewing a template on desktop and are resizing it to small size (under 768px width)to test the responsiveness of it, as a potential buyer, which real world users wouldn’t do when going to a website.

Anyway, I’m quite happy to tweak it and improve the menu as I take your feedback seriously, it’s just that I have not witnessed what you are describing, so if you are interested in this template and would like me to improve the menu please send me an email via my profile page so we can discuss the behaviour you are seeing.

Thanks, Greg

The hidden HTML element is 17px high.

The menu graphic is 75px high.

The menu works if you touch the top 20% of the graphic.

The menu does not work if you click the bottom 80% of the graphic.

• On iPhones and iPads

Ok that is definitely not the behaviour intended but I think I know what is happening, would you mind sending me an email so I can show you and confirm a possible fix?

Thanks, Greg
