    I am using the Decor theme. I have my primary navigation very top bar horizontal but would like to also include a custom menu with 3 items into the widget area header-widget-area through widgets 'header right'. I also would like to use the menu icons plugin. I had all this in place but it was horizontal. as you see on the live site I basically have the links stacked and aligned right but it just using the text widget and I can't use the menu icons. I am asking for help to change the stylesheet for the custom menu so it is stacked. Hope that makes sense. thankyou.

    Hi,

    this will "stack" the header menu items (add it to style.css):

    #header .genesis-nav-menu.menu li {
    		float: none;
    }

    If you want to fit that into the black header graphic, you have to add something like margin-top: -23px; to

    #header .menu {
        float: right;
     }

    around line 309 of the style.css

    Thankyou so much Christoph. That has worked just great with a bit more work on the padding however my top horizontal navigation items are bunched together now too.
