Here's a neat trick to convert Icy Phoenix's Side Menu into a Touch-Friendly full-width Menu.

And it works better than the one they have at phpBB.com - - - -

Turn the <tr's and <td's into <li's and <ul after the first <td that denotes the style for the inner table.

I haven't done it to IP but I use the same menu here - And when someone else converts it - Let me know because I want a copy of it.

Demo Side menu:

The .css

Code: [Hide] [Select]

/* Menu for side blocks */

.catmenu {

	list-style: none;

	padding:0;

	margin:0; }

.catmenu_text {

	padding-top: 5px; }

.catmenu li {

    /* Added to show the whole li element will be a clickable link. */

	width: 100%;

	background-color: black;

	border-top: 2px solid #342f2f;

	border-top-style: dotted;

	font-size:11px;

	line-height: 40px !important;

	font-weight: bold;

	padding:1px;

}

.catmenu li a:link, .catmenu li a:active, .catmenu li a:visited {background-color: black; display: block; color: #dbff00; font-weight: bold; font-size:1.1em !important; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top;}

.catmenu li a:hover {background-color: #3b3a3a; display: block; color: #00ff00; font-weight: bold; font-size:1.1em !important; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top;}

You're right... menu should need a re-style...

I'll probably end up doing it anyway.

I don't think it had yet, but it'd probably be very interesting :-).

I might have a look at that now that I'm doing nothing else..

Edit:

No! No! No! no.. I've changed my mind

After a quick play with <ul's etc, Nothing else really suits the templates unless the WHOLE thing is redesigned with less clutter - - - And that would be more of a "cultural" shift to a more modern layout, starting from scratch.

I started playing with this to make a "Responsive" games theme for the benefit of my grand-kids - - -

http://members.iinet.net.au/~cranky65/advance/index.php

The truth of the matter is that with their iPod's, tablets etc, they are not that interested any more in doing much that they can't do on their tablets. They buy their games and get no adverts etc and one ONLY has to look around the Web to see that games sites have become something of a dinosaur - forums the same - UNLESS one can make them more appealing.

And that would mean stripping all the stuff out of Icy Phoenix to something like phpBB - and let people put in/add ONLY what they want.

Something like the picture.. phpBB-2.0.23 - But I really don't know any more..
