From my point of view the mega menu of this template is not a real mega menu, as it works like any multi-column menu. When you try to make a wide submenu, the menu does not stop at the right border of the template, but you have to resize any submenu width the nearer you get to the right border or it laps over the right border of the wrapper. Normally, as far as I know a mega menu should always have any submenu start at the left side of the template and fills the full width of the template.

In fact, when I looked at the demo before getting the template, I really thought that this can't be the mega menu but the regular drop down and looked for some way to change the style of the demo, which did not work, lol.

This one below is one of the first mega menus I ever saw, yet very basic in styling but one can see how it should work and so ask if some additional styles can be provided to officially update the MyStore "mega menu" to a real MEGA menu?:)

Okay, Joomlart? Have I missed something since I havent worked every day with Joomla?;)
I see that this template is using the T3 system by Joomlart.com by I did not know that also the menu is from Joomlart. I was a member of Joomlart.com for a year, but since all their templates became whacky and stereotypical stuff one can get for free anywhere on the web, I stopped using them last year already.

Would be cool when this mega menu becomes a real mega menu!:)

Can I use this as an excuse to come up with one issue I think is, maybe at least a bit, a strange issue....

Well, more or less, but to come to the point, I installed the VM Float Bar by XML/SWF. This is really a great extension, something that really makes a difference, especially when it is for a mobile store:)

So, I even have the full paid version and the problem is:

- When I activate the float bar, on any type of position where it will display on the bottom ---> The "Home" Menu link of the mega menu disappears after loading after showing for a second. When deactivating it again, on next page load the menu item is shown as usual.

Again, also when it sounds crazy...activate the float bar, then reload the page, the menu ited "home" appears for a second and then dissapears to the left (?????)

Maybe test it yourself, there is also a free download:
