I don't know if this counts as bug but it seems that if you activate "Sticky titles" under "Theme Tweaks" in the control panel and also install the new menu bar plugin the sticky titles are mostly covered up by the menu bar.

This doesn't bother me personally but I thought I'd mention it just in case it was something that had been missed.

Si,

See $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/sticky and set Top to 40px as an example

Yes, this should perhaps be configurable.

Thanks Tony. It should probably happen automatically if the menu bar plug-in is enabled.

An alternative is to have the title just appear on the menu bar, since there is already plenty of available space.

I've attached a very simple example of what I mean that uses the HotZone plugin.

Very helpful, thanks.

Two questions: 

1. How would I move the title to the very top of the tiddler, so that when scrolling there is no text scrolled above the tiddler title.
2. Why would I change this tiddler, when I am using a theme different than vanilla?


I love the menubar, but it does make it tricky for scrolling.

Thanks!

How can I get the result in your html file to show the title in the menu bar.
I am not sure if I should tag the $/:temp/focussedTiddler with the Menu Bar tag or transclude the $/:temp/focussedTiddler  in another tiddler tagged with "Menu Bar". I have tried creating a tiddler tagged with"Menu Bar" with a transclusion of {{ $/:temp/focussedTiddler}}. I can get the tiddlers title to show in the Menubar but not the transcluded content (As yours does!)

Dan,

Where does  $/:temp/focussedTiddler   come from, do you mean  $:/temp/focussedTiddler  ?

I see si shared a plugin, I missed that.

The site title can be found in  $:/SiteTitle 

I have attached a tiddler that places the siteTitle in the menu bar, from experimenting


 Regards
Tony

Tones,
That works, thank you - just chnaged the filed value in the transclusion to "$:/temp/focussed Tiddler" as required by the plugin.
