    Hi

    I'm customising the Metric theme and I'd like to remove the sub menu indicator.

    Thanks

    When you create a menu with nested pages you get a little triangle to the right of the menu item like: "Services >" - to let people know that if they hover over this item, a drop down will appear so they can select the pages.

    This is called the sub menu indicator in the CSS code.

    Hi,

    If I'm thinking on the same lines you should be able to turn them off by going to your dashboard and go to:

    Genesis > Theme Settings > Navigation and disable fancy dropdowns checkbox.

    Hope this helps

    Hi

    Thanks but sadly that doesn't work.

    I've found the css for it and I can remove the indicators or reduce them to 0px and this works except it still leaves the space where they were thus making the spacing of the nav bar uneven.

    In your style.css file on line 214 try changing the display:block to none example below :

    #header UL.nav LI A .sf-sub-indicator, #header UL.menu LI A .sf-sub-indicator {
    background: url(images/arrow-down.png);
    display: none; << Change this line
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    top: 12px;
    right: 5px;
    }

    That should hopefully do the trick for you.

    Just spotted you comment about the white space where the indicator used to be to remove this look on line 210 and remove the padding-right: 20px;

    Cool. Thanks a lot. Can't believe I didn't spot that padding-right entry. Changing it to about 10px seems about right.

    Cheers
