Main menu and slideshow image tweaking

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

I have the slideshow image overlay at .01 but this makes the main menu hard to read. If I take the padding out by

#menu.zen-menu-right ul > li {
padding: 0;
}

and add a background to it by

#menu ul >li {
background: none repeat scroll 00 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}

then that looks good but the drop downs and sticky nav have the grey too and I want that white. So there must be a better way of doing this.

I can add this and it fixes the dropdowns but not the sticky nav

#menu ul ul >li {
background: transparent;
}

So does this leave you needing the sticky wrap transparent but needing the navigation readable?

What are you wanting to achieve in the end? - it's been a long day

Hi Paul,

2 things:

1. Am I approaching this correctly or is there a better way to do what I want?

2. I still need the sticky wrap transparent, yep.

1. I tend to go with if it works then it's good

There are normally a few ways of doing everything :)

2.

Try something along the lines of

#navwrap.fixed {background:transparent;}
#navwrap.fixed a, #navwrap.fixed span.zen-menu-heading {color: #fff;}

#navwrap.fixed ul ul > li a, #navwrap.fixed ul ul > li.parent .zen-menu-heading {color: #333;}

Cheers

Not quite what I want but I figured it out from what you posted

#navwrap.fixed ul > li {background: transparent;}

Thanks Paul!
