Mobile nav bar menu

Introducing a new mobile nav bar menu, this option allows you to display a menu at the bottom of the screen for mobile applications, consisting typically only of buttons with icons pointing to pages such as Home, Downloads, Search, or Account. 

Operators can manage this new menu type in Presentation Manager by navigating to Display → Menus → Mobile Nav Bar.

Menu icons

You can now add icons to your menus to define additional visual aids in the navigation. This is crucial for any new Mobile nav bar entries where icons replace text.

Available menu icons can be managed in Admin → Settings → Menu Icons.
