Set Top of story? for menus and other top content?

[TonyM]

Folks,

With the advent of the menu bar plugin and with the full knowledge of other mobile themes and menu systems available such as placing things in the topbar(s)

• Is there an existing or designable way to set the top of the story so when you scroll the new position is where sticky titles stop?
• Similarly can we then set this top zone to a higher Z index or give it an opaque background?

It would be nice if thESE were a config panel valueS.

Control panel > Appearance > Theme Tweeks

$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/storytop 

Sets how low the starting position of the story is, to make room for menus etc... but on scroll the top of the page is where the sticky titles still stop, thus they go under the menu are many not be visible.

Tony!
 Jeremy and Mat has recently started a thread in GitHub to see if an overhaul the page layout is possible.

I think these issues can be seen in that thread and hopefully we could have more flexible layout. See

Hello all,

Interesting thread over at Github. I shall follow attentively.

I am much in favor of an overhaul as long as it improves usability.

Thanks Mohammad for sharing it!

Thanks Mohammad,

Is that where the post here went I wonder, if there is not a simple solution to Set Top of story?

The GitHub issues seems to me to be a redevelopment of the page layout but surely we can introduce a little more customisation as a start?

I am somewhat dependant on others because reverse engineering the page layout is a little difficult.

Tony,

Yes, the hassle we have now is because of not suitable page layout!

The top menubar has brought some new issues like conflict with sticky title.

This is a design issue and overhauling page layout will resolve this!

But by that time as you said you need another solution.

Hi Tony,

You can adjust 'Top' in $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/sticky

I use that in my Layout tweaks plugin.

Cheers,

Ton,

Thanks so much, that was what I needed,  top: 25px; works well with the new Menu bar plugin.

This also reminds me that when it comes to page layouts the theme is also involved. 

I can imagine a re-release vanila theme with these kinds of parameters either automated or configurable.

Thanks

Ton
