Fair enough, Ankur, and thank you.

Hi Pioneer Web Design,

Thanks for the insight, and, while I appreciate what you’re saying, I already more or less know that, hence my question.
It’s like an alien entering our solar system and asking us Terrestrials what the best planet in the solar system would be for them to settle on…
I suspect that, with a number of back and forth questions and answers, certain planets could probably be fleshed out and narrowed down, maybe to one, or maybe to none at all.
So that was/is more or less the idea behind my question.
Again, IOW, I already get that there are a fair number of planets and significant moons, and that I have certain living requirements that are not going to fit all of them.

Thanks, @terrathemes, I’ll look into them.

Hi @terrathemes,

Thank you very much for your new code. It works perfectly and goes some ways toward lending a simple, fluid, (though not too fluid with parallax ‘all over the place’, so to speak) ergonomic and pleasing layout. I like how the menu at the bottom helps to ‘ground’ the site and add more info without clutter, as well as ‘introduce’ or ‘sweep’ the ‘transition’ into the next section.
I tried quite a few themes, incidentally, including with, less commonly, menus on or near the bottom as preferred– including WordPress’ own Twenty Seventeen– to less avail, and was getting quite weary and dissatisfied until Meteorite came along and ‘hit’ me, such as with its subtle yet effective ‘kit of integrations’, minus kludge or $-begs.

Thanks, too, for the added information and insight regarding CSS and so forth, it’s appreciated, and of course might add in helping others who might arrive later to read the threads.

Hi @terrathemes,

Thank you kindly for your CSS code. The first two work fine, although the last bit still leaves the menu below the viewport/off-screen, including again, the front page. So I have reverted back to @salsaturation’s ‘frontpage fix’ until the other pages can be figured out.

For what it’s worth, if this helps, I am using a Child Theme of Meteorite 1.4, and don’t seem to have access in the Child’s editor of its CSS and PHP like I did with the Parent. Apparently it’s an external referral to Parent’s CSS, yes? So I presume that the Child’s Customizer CSS overrides it/is prioritized over Parent’s yes? Because that is where I have placed your and salsaturation’s CSS.

But perhaps I am not putting it/yours in the right place? In any case, salsaturation’s CSS in the Customizer’s area for CSS does work for the menu on the front page in aligning its bottom with the header image’s and viewport’s bottom.

Understood about the white chosen as primary color, but it so far seems the way to get the menu text to be white to designate current-page and upon mouseover of the menu item. To have the same control over the color of a particular section of text– the menu– be appended also to an element– the back-up arrow– seems somewhat counterintuitive, but I imagine there’s some underlying logic in any case. At the same time, though, it does make me wonder about Christophe’s issue.
