Increase the height of the menu bar

[costas100]

In one of my sites based on GetSimple http://www.zk.ellada-mas.com/ I reached the limit of links added in the header bar. As a result any additional link I place jumps to the next line, enlarging the width, but unfortunately the enlarged width covers part of the body. I added one extra temporary link just to demonstrate the problem.
I am using the Default_Simple theme and I checked the default.css and template.php
I am guessing that the solution is some minor changes in either one or both of these files. Unfortunately my css knowledge is rather limited and I need your help.
I think if I increase the height of the menu bar it will probably not overlap the body area.

PS: I am very happy with the GetSimple software I wish to congratulate the team for the excellent work done.

Have a very happy Holiday Period

Jassou Costas!

Have a look at default.css in the theme-folder

there you find

Code:

#header #nav li {float:left;border-right:1px solid #1E3A4E;}

if you add a special font-size you will see that the topics will fit to the width:

Code:

#header #nav li {float:left;border-right:1px solid #1E3A4E;font-size: 12px;}

I am glad you like GetSimple and I like your sites,
have a happy Christmas also!

Giassou Connie I am so glad to hear from you. It has been a long time.
I tried your method and ended up making the font size even smaller than your suggestion, I changed it to:

Code:

#header #nav li {float:left;border-right:1px solid #1E3A4E;font-size: 11px;}

I will take the courage to ask you one more question:
Is there anyway I can make the menu bar either a double width bar with two rows of links without interfering with the title of the first article in the pages or maybe add an additional side bar, so that I can add more links. Especially when someone is getting older (like me at almost 74), small fonts are not so desirable.
I am planing to abandon the http://www.zhteitai-komma.com/ site witch is based on Drupal and lately it is giving me a lot of troubles and replace it with http://www.zk.ellada-mas.com/ (Get Simple). I am not sure if you can read Greek, the above site is only in Greek and has a fairly controversial content. The present mess has created a nasty state of affairs in Greece and some other countries in Europe. If you read something that sounds strange please disregard it. We can talk in privacy in my email info@ellada-mas.com.

I do not wish to add anymore personal details here.

With many many thanks for your help and looking forward to hear back from you
I also wish you a Very Happy and Prosperous New year
