3 column layout with navbar and sidebars

Hi,

I just want to share a small project (for desktop) with a 3 column layout - with a custom header menu+floating submenu and collapsible/expandable sidebars.

I have done my best with only using “anvil native components” (no html components) and tried adding as little custom css as possible.

Hopefully someone finds this useful!

Cheers!

Our DOS software had a persistent menu like that. It was one of the best things about it. No matter how deep you had to go, you always knew where you were. You could put a series of steps into a menu, and it would practically lead you along!

And then Windows came along and forced the entire menu tree to vanish as soon as you picked an item. To get to the “next” item, you had to re-navigate the whole thing…
