How do I get small arrow to appear for drop down?

rarch47 · January 2015

I have sub buttons in my main menu. Is it possible to be able to insert a small downward arrow icon next to the menu item to let user know that it has child options?

At this moment we do not have anything like that but we'll consider it while future updates.

Please do that. Do you have a vote page where it can be posted for popular requests? Is there a jquery script i could run in there to detect child elements and associate a font icon to the parent link/list element?

No, we do not have anything like that. Sorry!

Alright. I will see what I can come up with.

Please show us how this should look like in your mind and where this arrow supposed to be and we'll consider it while future updates.

Ok I will send you a link. But a good example right now would be to look at how twitter bootstrap works with the <span class="caret"></span> element.

I'm trying to figure this out with jquery on a bootrapped website (DRY menu) I am building. Haven't got the script available now but I can do a js fiddle on it later tomorrow.

Ok, got it. So we'll consider this with next updates for sure.

I managed to do something with just CSS code using pseudo classes. Please look at my stackoverflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28490825/when-using-twitter-bootstrap-can-i-program-the-span-class-caret-to-be-inserted

Maybe it would not be too much work in your next release.

Cheers for all your hard work.

This one looks fine but we got own solutions and probably we will use own for that.

Has this update happened yet?

@colletteb Yes, this was added quite long time ago. Arrow option is available under Theme options > Menu & Action Bar > Menu section.
