I have been looking over the nav. bar settings for a way to add just a bit more spacing on the left and right sides. I see that I can add a border to the sides or more spacing between each item or set the max width.
The border feature is probably the closest to what I am looking for but it seems to add a solid color boarder when my nav. bar is transparent. Is there just a way to bring the sides in a bit more while keep that same black transparent?
I am guessing that adding a border is the way to do this so I will probably just add the boarder without the transparency and have that carried across to all the pages where the partial resides.
It seems like I’ve tried just about everything I can do in the stack at this point? Perhaps I don’t understand the Inner Max Width Option completely. As I try to change the numbers I don’t see any of the content in the nav bar shifting to any degree.
As I look back at the drop down I made in with MegaMenu and Foundry 2 I notice there was much spacing on both ends of the nav bar content. That system seemed pretty quick to get used to. I was hoping I could figure out the new system pretty quick.
Inner Max Width may work, but it simply prevents the inner part of the navbar from exceeding a particular width. If that’s not sufficient and you actually want to keep the outermost elements a consistent space from the sides of the device/browser window you’ll have to use padding.
It looks like there isn’t a setting for the side padding, but you can use Blacksmith to do it. Add it to the page and the following setting should work.
Next, set the padding. I used a large margin just to see that it’s working. Set them to your liking. The Top/Bottom don’t matter as the more specific settings in the Navigation Bar override them.
