Hi! Just have a question about the menu. On my Ipad it shows up horizontal, but on my windows PC it shows a dropdown menu. Is it possible to change menu on my PC to the horizontal, just like the Ipad?
Otherwise I am happy with Cumulusutils😊

Hi

Not sure what you mean but the menu that is used depends on the screen width of the browser. The width used for the site 1140px and this shows a horizontal menu. I can view the horizontal menu on all iPads down to the iPad mini. If it is showing the mobile menu on your PC desktop I can only conclude the the PC screen width is quite small (less than 1024px), otherwise it should appear as a horizontal menu.

Sorry if this doesn't help. Just out of interest can you view my default CMX site, https://weather.oaktreewebs.co.uk on your PC with a horizontal menu?

Thank you for reply. Same thing happens with your site, but meanwhile I found out that my screen is set to 1280x1024, an older Philips screen.
Also I found out, that if I go to zoom in my Edge browser and reduce from 100% to 90% the horisontal menu appears. Think I'll just do that for now. But I don't understand why it doesn't work with 1280x1024 :D

Hi,

Could you post a screenshot of both situations? I don't really understand what you mean with the horizontal and drop down. I would expect the PC with a 1280 width to display standard behaviour. The hamburger menu only displays below certain width. It must have to do with the responsive behaviour of the bootstrapsystem.
You could try out with http://responsivetesttool.com/

Some interesting changes, particularly Today//Yesterday//Today Vs Yesterday.
Obviously easy enough to drop the ones you don't want.

I do find the repetition of the wording to be a bit hard on the eyes in as much as focusing in in the numbers.

I took this approach with my page, and it will look better without the gaps before the time....

Also found the rain section of the main page a bit hard to read, as my eyes jump about picking out Total, last hour, since midnight & last 24 hours.
I know it's beet that way forever but I decided this ordering was a bit more readable.

Cheers

Hi again!
all works fine on my Windows PC now. I got on the track after the first reply in here. The problem was that I for long time ago had made changes to make text larger on the screen. +150%! (because of my eyes).
I set it back to 100% and all works fine. Thank you for the help.
PS. And my eyes got better after an operation last year, so I don't need the big text any more :D
And to Phil23:
Your site also looks fine now with a horizontal menu :D
