In TWClassic (aka TW2), the was a default (shadow) tiddler called "MainMenu" that appeared on the left. In TW5, the default layout doesn't have a MainMenu, but you can create one relatively easily, like this: 1) Create a tiddler named "MainMenu" 2) Tag it with "$:/tags/PageTemplate" 3) Create a field named "list-before" (leave the value blank) 4) Enter the following content: <div style="position:absolute;margin-top:1em;"> Stuff Here More stuff here </div> 5) In the $:/ControlPanel, Appearance, ThemeTweaks, set the "Story left position" to leave room for the desired width of the MainMenu (e.g., "20em") (note: you can also directly set this value in $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/storyleft) That's it. You can now edit the MainMenu tiddler to show whatever content you like. Notes: * If you want the MainMenu to NOT scroll with the page, use "position:fixed" instead of "position:absolute" * If you want the MainMenu to wrap its contents to fit the width, add "width:20em;" * Adjust the "margin-top:1em" to suit your taste enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
