Menu left or top?

I haven't moved up to 2.5.0 (or 2.5.1) yet. I'm wondering whether moving the menu to the top is required or an option/setting. I'm not sure I'll like the top menu with my site. If it is not an option/setting, how hard is it to back out the upgrade if I don't like it?

Thanks.

Re: Menu left or top?

hello,
the menu is moved to top by default now to make it easier to fit into websites that do not span the full screen width. Although it is not difficult to keep the old style, just a theme design change.

Re: Menu left or top?

OK, Algis, please help quickly.  I did this upgrade. Some issues:

Where did the "Branding" information go? I rely on these information spaces, and they just disappeared.

Please tell me how to get the menu back on the left. When I'm "Managing" appointments, I can't see enough, because the top of the screen is taken up with menu, and I must scroll too much.

The "Width" setting seems new. And it seems arbitrary. How can I get it to go back to adjusting to the window width? If I set it wide enough for my purposes, many of my clients will have to do a ridiculous amount of horizontal scrolling.

Oh, and since I've been griping, let me also say that I love that users can now see the times they can actually choose (underlined). Great improvement.

Re: Menu left or top?

hello,
the good news are that the next update with some minor polishes is already ready and will be published within a couple of days. One of the things is a theme making use of the full width screen with the menu on the left just as it was in the previous version.

Also we removed the branding option as it just duplicated the theme template, we recommend to edit the template file for the footer and the header code.

Re: Menu left or top?

Thanks for the reply. I'm just too web-naive to quickly understand how you've put this all together and how flexible it is. I managed to get my headers/footers back in, but I was bad and hadn't backed up, so I had to re-create the wheel. Grrr. I wish I had known the "branding" was going away. I'm not even going to try moving the menu back on my own. I'll wait on your template to go by. Thanks again.
