Hello,

Yes it can you just have to enable it under the Menu Tab and set the Top Menu Position? and Float The Menu At What Height?

What issues are you having?

I have enabled it all as it should be (see attached) but the logotype is not showing up. Any ideas on how to solve it?

I also now noticed that in the floaing menu all menu items are stacked under neath each other vertically .... not horizontally as it should be. Please look into this.

Hello,

This template is not stylized for a floating menu. You can enable it as Mike stated above, but any styling to make it work with a floating option would be something you would need to create. The framework simply enables the functionality of being able to set the menu to floating.

I find it a bit strange that you have not fixed this as it it part of the framework you have. Is it very difficult to fix the style for this template?

I need to be able to show the logotype in the floating menu ... get that small arrow appearing for dropdowns .... and then all is OK.

Would very much appreciate you help on this.

Hello,

We clearly state this feature may not work with all themes depending on the styling used for the Template.

Quote
Choose to enable or disable the menu from floating at top of the browser upon scroll.  NOTE: This is a Vertex addition and is not gauranteed to work with all Vertex Themes.  Some custom CSS may need to be adjusted per theme. This feature is not supported by IE7/8.

You can try the below coding to see if this helps but beyond that you would need to get some custom styling and overrides for it to work with this Template.

Code:
#s5_menu_wrap.s5_wrap_fmfullwidth {
     z-index: 4;
}

#s5_menu_wrap.s5_wrap_fmfullwidth #s5_menu_inner, #s5_menu_wrap {
    float: none;
}

Thank you for your assistance so far. There was actually no significant change to the menu using your new CSS code. The MAJOR issue still missing, is that the logotype is not showing up as well as that the small drop down arrows are missing when not hovered over. Otherwise all is as it should be.

The flexible advanced floating menu that Shape5 has is really(!) good and one of my top 3 features with you. To find out that it is not implemented in all templates although it exists in the framework ... is disappointing for me. Especially now that I found such a good template - Luxon - for my purpose.

Please reconsider to fix these small "bugs" and hopefully you will get even more customers having the approach that the adv. floating menu is something that can be used whenever with you templates.

Longing forward to hearing your comments on this.

Hello,

This is not considered a bug as you state. The template is not stylized, nor is designed aesthetically to have a floating menu. As stated above we offer the functionality in the framework if you want to enable the floating menu and then you can stylize it using the tools in Vertex or your own custom css, we do not provide the styling for that though; this is styling you would need to create.
