README

An extension to improve the off-canvas menu.

For example, a menu text can be shown to the right of the icon in the header.

In addition, you can display a home link as first link.

For the menu items, the font size can be set if required and the border below the respective menu items can be removed.

In the sublevels you have the option to hide the back link.

If necessary, the menu can be displayed in the smartphone view in full width and the font size of the close button can be adjusted.

It is also possible to hide the languages and currencies area and show the menu items of the footer service navigation.

You can also choose whether each category should be hidden in the off-canvas menu.
