    Hi, the mega menu is a nice feature, but limited.

    There are some practical issues:

    1) This is an issue with the menu in general, but also applicable with the mega menu: when you are at the first part of any page (so the menu has not shrunk yet), then there is a ‘gap’ between the menu items and its children/dropdown. So, if you do not go down very quickly, the megamenu/dropdown disappears again and you have to go back up and hover over the parent again. This is very annoying and userunfriendly. Note that this not happen when the menu is shrunk (i.e. when you scrolled down the page).

    2) The Mega menu has strange behaviours:
    – a) There seems to be no fixed limit in columns (max 5?). If I use short descriptions, I can get 5 columns in use, the 6th moves under the 1st. If I change one description to a longer one then suddenly only 4 columns are used and #5 & 6 move under 1 & 2. This while there is a large empty gap on the right, which is unused.

    Can the number of columns and column widths and total width be an option? For example I have 8 main items, and want them to appear in 4 columns/2 rows.

    – b) Longer sub names do not wrap, but disappear under the item next to it. Can long names wrap?

    – c) The Mega menu lines out to the left and is not full-width. This is also annoying, as I had a mega menu on the right side of the main menu: the dropdown mega menu does not appear under it, but to the left of the main area. Together with the issue under 1) means that it is unusable: you need to quickly move down diagonally to get to the mega dropdown, but while doing this you will drop down the main item next to it..

    Can it be made full width, align-right (where the main menu is after all) or at least drop down under the parent item?

    3) How can we add icons or pictures to the menu and mega menu items?

    Thanks!

    ps:it would be great if we could add HTML/widgets to the mega menu as well.

    Hi,
    We will change that hover behavior so it won’t disappear when moving slower to the sub-menu.

    You can add icons by changing the item label like:

    COPY CODE
    
    <i class="icon icon-phone"></i> Phone
    

    Right now only menu items can be added in the menu/mega menu and the mega menu just splits the child items in columns
    We will dedicate some time on improving the menu and adding more functionality

    Thanks! Is there an overview somewhere, with all icons’ names/codes? Will it be possible to add custom ones? (if not, then please consider this a feature request!)

    Cheers!

    Yes you can see them in the main package downloaded – Assets – Fontello – demo.html

    Thank you, that is a helpful overview. Is there a preferred way to add/define custom icons? Either from other sources or home-made?

    Thanks.

    See the included documentation that guides you on adding extra fontello icons if you need. We will add in a next theme version the option to upload your custom fontello icons
