Burger menu in desktop website
-
It's possible but messy. You can hide the desktop menu in the Customizer and copy the CSS code pertaining to the mobile menu from the laytheme files into the custom CSS desktop code in the laytheme options to render the mobile menu visible on desktop. I've done this here: https://annafrei.net/
Generally it works well but the critical problem is that laytheme upgrades often render the custom code obsolete, which then needs to be painstakingly updated.
A less messy way is to use custom CSS and JS to adjust the appearance and
behaviour of the desktop menu itself. I've done this here: http://clients.ateliervarga.ch/nz/ -

Dear @brogr, thank you for this invaluable tip!
The burger menu on your website annafrei.net is exactly what I'm looking for.I'm trying to copy my mobile menu into the custom CSS desktop code in my lay theme options, but am unsure which parts exactly I ought to copy and paste, worried I might mess up something as I'm a total newbie with CSS.
Is this what you were referring to as the mobile menu from the laytheme files?
Thank you so much for any and all help!

Dear @heleneleuzinger
We would not recommend to change the code inside the theme folder. It will get overwritten with the next update. Try to use the CUSTOM CSS and JQUERY section.
Best!

Hi @heleneleuzinger
You'd find most of the relevant CSS code in frontend/style_phone.php: look for .mobile-nav and the relevant mobile-menu-style. As I said, this solution isn't ideal, as lay upgrades might make your custom CSS code faulty.
The more stable approach I'd recommend is to use custom CSS and JS to adjust the appearance and behaviour of the desktop menu itself...

Is there any way of doing this now? Or any kind soul would share their work around?
Thanks :))

Use the following custom CSS and JS to adjust the appearance and behaviour of the desktop menu. You can see it in action on https://quantaviva.ch
Custom CSS for Desktop Version:
nav.laynav.primary:before { display: block; content: "–––\A–––\A–––"; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 0.6em; font-weight: 900; cursor: pointer; } nav.laynav.primary.toggled:before { content: "✕"; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.15em; } nav.laynav ul { display: none; width: 96vw; background: #fff; }Custom <head> content:
<script> jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) { $(".laynav.primary").on("click", function(e){ $(this).toggleClass("toggled").children("ul").toggle(); }); }); </script> -
oh cool - thanks @brogr :))
I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
