Creating your own standard Xara mobile menu (similar to those often found in Xara templates) can be achieved by importing a menu symbol or by building your own shape icon and then grouping this with a text column or text area. In this example, it is a menu symbol and a text column with the word menu. The text column has been set to ‘clear fill colour’ and grouped with the menu icon. A right click on the group then offers the opportunity to ‘Create Navigation Bar. Thereafter you can add the menu links and submenu links as required. in this example the text column that combined with the menu symbol had the word “menu” and that appears at the top in the dialogue box, but not when rendered. The appearance of the menu and submenus can be adjusted through the popup style menu.

On a touch device (such as a mobile or tablet), a MouseOver has no effect until the link is pressed. Whereupon, it will appear to show the MouseOver layer until another link is pressed. This can be used to good effect to highlight to a visitor which page the visitor is on. In this example an additional symbol has been used to provide a top-of-page link.
