2. Breaking Down Navigation Menu Style
- First option under Menu Style is Default vs Custom
- Default Menu: is the navigation menu that will show up on every page.
- Custom Menu: is a custom navigation menu for the gallery being edited ONLY!
- There can be as many custom menus as there are pages/galleries. Custom menus do not save and will have to be setup each time.
- Second option under Menu Style is Animated Menu.
- Animated Menu: Instead of listed links an animated menu will condense the links into an icon. When the icon is clicked by a user the navigation menu will fly in from the left, right or full page depending on the settings.
