I don’t use beta builds. I “might” load them separately to help out Norm and team, but I NEVER use a beta build for anything I plan to keep.
I will install 5.1 shortly, as I have tested it on my laptop with my sites and all seems stable.
V5.10, V5.11b1, V5.11b2, nothing has been resolved privately, I have no idea how to think about it, after all, is it supposed to add “additional css”? I want to know if I can use “custom classes” or not, and I want a clear answer.
2x Classes. One added to the List. Style how ever you want too. You can of course your the Bootstrap classes. Really depends if you want it site wide or specific for certain menus.
To be fair, you started playing with a feature in a beta, it is unreasonable to expect documentation during a beta or for a feature to fully work during the beta stage. Norm has also explained everything. If you have trouble understanding, then you need to ask politely.
In the original post for Blocs for Mac V5.1.1 Beta 1, I included everything users need to know regarding setting navigation dropdown link colours using the new custom class:( nav .dropdown-menu .nav-link ) which can be access from the sub class menu and edited via the Class Editor.
With this class, users do not need to add code to the additional CSS area (as mentioned previously for 5.1.0), if that additional styling code was manually added then remove it.
Also make sure the Bootstrap theme setting for the navigation Bloc is set to default (which it is by default). This solution will not work with the dark theme dropdown menus.
The nav .dropdown-menu .nav-link subclass should let a user set the link text colour to the navigation dropdown menus links.
Background Colours
I’d also like to make it clear that there was never an easy/no code way that we promoted/provided (to the best of my knowledge) to set the dropdown menu background colours, this has always required additional coding knowledge or customisation using custom classes.
It is in the best interests of all Blocs users that the Bootstrap framework is updated regularly, any user who adds custom classes to further customise parts of their site, should always consider potential changes in the framework that may break custom styling.
Finally
I appreciate that there is a language barrier here and I understand it can feel very frustrating / isolating when an individual is trying to make sense of something that is not in their native language. But please consider, it’s equally frustrating for others, who do put forward solutions for issues such as this but (from their perspective) feel their solutions appear to be overlooked and not properly read or tried.
Please see this as my final public response/solution on this matter regarding navigation dropdown link colours.
If you still feel unsure, please feel free to privately send me your project file and I shall try and assist you further.
Is this good? However, it doesn’t seem to be reflected in the “preview” and it doesn’t feel very user-friendly. What about the “table”? The original is transparent. The color of the “custom class” is not reflected. I just want it to be the same as the current published “web”. If there is no further improvement expected, I will have to bear with using “Navi special”. But if there are improvements expected in the future, I would like to continue using “5.10b7” until then.
Thanks for the video and links to your live website, thats helpful.
What I can see from inspecting your website, is you are styling your links with the subclass (navbar-nav li a). Which is generated when you use the project settings text options to set the navigation link colours.
If you disable the !important check for the text colour rule in the Class Editor that may correct the issue. You currently have a few classes adapting the colours of links some may need to be altered.
When I apply colour to navigation links in Blocs I always use the global swatch option in the inspector.
It’s hard to tell how your project is structured regarding classes, it may make more sense to just send me a link to download your Blocs project (.bloc) and then I can see whats going on.
I’ve begun to muster up the courage to assemble a Bric, with lots of spoon-feeding (my gratitude to @PeteSharp for the assistance ). Everything seems to behave as expected on my M1, but when I make any modifications on my Intel, the save button mysteriously vanishes. Is this an Intel-specific glitch, or am I simply experiencing a blonde moment on this beautiful Sunday? It happens on 5.1 and the latest beta as well.
