Menu Transparency Problems

I have just upgraded to V 6.0.4 and my drop-down menus now have transparent backgrounds.

I am using the Document Library web part and when you right click on the document, the drop-down that is displayed appears over the page but the background is transparent and the text is therefore difficult to read.

Am I missing new setting or something?

RE:Menu Transparency Problems

Hello,

The drop-down menu web part in version 6 of Kentico CMS doesn't contain any information about css styles, so it is completely up to you, which color or image do you set as a background to your menu. Here is an approach how to do it:

1) Open properties of your dropdown menu web part and fill the CSS prefix property with mymenu_
2) Go to the Site Manager -> Development -> CSS Stylesheets and edit your site stylesheet
3) Paste following class definition into it:

.mymenu_CMSMenu {
background-color: #ffffff;
}

Now your dorpdown menu should stop being transparent and be white instead.

Best regards,

RE:Menu Transparency Problems

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the reply. The web part I am using is the Document Library, not the drop down menu web part. When I enter a document in the Document Library I can right click on the document and a list of options folds down from the mouse position. I V 5, the list could be easily read but in V6, the background is transparent and are difficult to read.

Does the Document Library use the Drop Down Menu Web part and if so, Where do I change the parameter?.

Regards,

Ewanm

RE:Menu Transparency Problems

Hello,

Oh, I was thinking, that we are talking about drop-down menu web part. Ok then, please make sure, that your site stylesheet (Site Manager -> Development -> CSS Stylesheets) contains definitions of the context menu classes, especially the following one:

.ContextMenu .LibraryContextMenu
{
border: solid 1px #737373;
background-color: #ffffff;
font-size: 11px;
display: block;
width: 145px;
}

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
