    Default mobile menu can become a mess

    So here is a video to explain what I mean. As you can see the more indepth I make my menus the uglier it looks and harder to select a page. It would have been nice if Xara made it so that the pages would have a shade or shadow effect to stand out from the rest as the user selects pages.

    Is this possible. What solution is there?

    The only solution is to create your own mobile menus using layers. I prefer this anyway because the buttons can be big enough to read and to touch easily.

    Acorn may have a CSS solution.

    Thank you Gary, care to show me a sample of what you have done for yours? Also going back to the issue, I think dimming the lower menus, would solve the visual effect that I am looking for.

    A mobile menu should be a flat as possible and list depth is nigh on unmanageable on a hand-held.

    If you want a CSS Menu to highlight the current page, you probably need some JavaScript to iterate all the Menu links to check against the page URL. When found, the JS adds a class of "current" to the link and CSS link.current is set up to a different colour or highlight.
    All this could be crafted manually so each page has a slightly different CSS Menu, removing the JS at the expense of hand-coding. There are other approaches and making this work back up a tree of sub-menus would be quite interesting (hence my initial keep it flat statement).

    normalibman.com and gwpriester.com

    If you want to dim the content under the menu add a rectangle with transparency behind the buttons. I think you are best off with normal transparency though Multiply might be supported. Not sure.
