    I've tried a bunch of combinations to center my navigation in the balance theme. The closest thing I've got is all items stacked centered. But really I just want all items to be positioned in-line just centered in the space rather than coming from the left. Any help, is greatly appreciated.

    "Prints Charming",
    Not bad. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I get the dreaded menu centering request all the time from one of my designer friends. ๐Ÿ™‚ Before playing with the width of your UL, I'd suggest trying this stuff. The first method is shorter. It might work right away, especially because you're not using dropdowns, which are an even bigger headache with centering.

    The second is more involved, and is no doubt mostly geared for Genesis 1, not Genesis 2, but probably has useful info, including some code I contributed for dropdowns.
