Hello

To start could you try placing your menu in a simple menu module in the sidecol-1a module position and provide a URL to an example. We can then give you the needed custom CSS.

Ciaran

Thank you for the quick reply. I added the menu as a module in sidecol 1a. The URL for the example is next to the attachments.

Thank you Pedra

You appear to have found a solution using an alternative menu module?

Ciaran

Sorry, there is a misunderstanding. The link to the example should only show the desired appearance.

Please use the URL at the foot as a recent example.

Hi Pedra

Admittedly you are somewhat limited when using the default Joomla menu, but you could try something like the following which can be added to the Custom CSS field of your template style settings...

.module .mod-list.menu li {

    background-color: #235a91;

    margin-block: 5px;

    padding-inline: 10px;

}

.module .mod-list.menu li a {

    color: white;

}

.module .mod-list.menu li a:after {

    left: 9px;

    top: 13px;

}

Hi ciaran,

thank you for your information. This option works great for easy navigation.
Unfortunately, I was not able to implement more extensive effects this way.

Maybe a plugin is the solution for advanced navigation after all.
