Site title and tagline and menu placement
Hey Ari
Here is the new default 3.0 placement of header elements:
Most sites have the layout like this:
It would be best to show the default placement that most sites use. It would be great to have the centered code available. So a user can adjust it.
Btw this is a new local site using the Gridd 3 from about a week or so ago. With almost no content.
On one hand you're right. However, if you have a few menu items then the new defaults look like this:
whereas the old defaults look like this:
Trying to find the right balance here, if you have any ideas on how to accommodate these cases I'm all ears :)
Default looks like this (really nice btw).
The test to move the site title + tagline to the left. With menu to the right.
Adjusting placement through the customizer -> Header Grid.
This does not look good.
Changed auto to 250px (Branding column size) Changed auto to 100% (Nav column size)
Clicked the pencil by the menu and it went to Site Identity. ---NB! Should this go to Site Identity?
Adjusted the Site Title Font-Size and the Tagline font size. Adjusted the Spacing between elements. ---- NB. Should the b and e be in capital letters like so: Spacing Between Elements Adjusted the Horizontal Alignment to Left.
Result:
I am now going to hunt for lessening the space between the site title and the menu. As the menu could go a little further to the left and come closer to the site title. I am not seeing any setting for customizing the menu. Colors and placement as in padding/margin/font size etc.

It does. But there are a bunch of pencil icons there: alignment, site-name, site-description, nav and more.

Fixed.

Fixed the options a bit for this one, allowing negative values 'cause CSS can sometimes be quirky.

Most of these options are not used in most cases so they were removed (though as far as I recall they existed in Plus, so if that is the case they're still there) By enabling the inherit/override switch you can override the background-color which also tweaks the text-colors and link-colors for a11y. The "justify items" control in most cases performs a similar role to padding/margin etc, determining how items are distributed to fill the whitespace.
Can you share some CSS menu example code for links, underline, visited, current etc? I can add a wiki doc with styling the menu. Nice for me and for whomever else comes across it. I can then close this issue.
