Hey @Sash! I hope I can provide some clarity 🙂 We recently rolled out a new unified menu experience to Studio, as announced [here](https://forum.wixstudio.com/t/roundup-new-studio-features-improved-positioning-a-new-unified-menu-more/69232). Which is why you might be experiencing things that are slightly different to previous tutorials etc. Here’s a few articles that give more info about working with the new menus: - [Adding and managing new menus](https://support.wix.com/en/article/studio-editor-adding-and-managing-new-menus) - [Managing dropdowns in a menu](https://support.wix.com/en/article/studio-editor-managing-dropdowns-in-a-menu) To answer some of your questions… * * * > [@Sash](#): > > I cannot adjust the height of a menu to fit the full height of a row - wix editor could do this. > Why? I want the menu item to highlight the hole menu section of the menu when hovered. You’ll need to work with some of the options in the panel to adjust the height, such as “Item padding”. ![Screenshot 2025-03-25 at 10.25.11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/8/e/8eac01ec0f0d011207eee25c81ef8f90ccb9388c.png) * * * > [@Sash](#): > > why is wix studio less featured vs wix editor for things like this? It’s important to remember that Studio and Wix Editor are designed for different needs. Studio is built with agencies, freelancers, and enterprise users in mind, offering more flexible and customizable options - whereas Wix Editor focuses on out-of-the-box functionality. * * * > [@Sash](#): > > Another example of a default template, broken with responsiveness. Doesnt even push the item down. The example you shared isn’t using Stacks. There’s currently no relation between the Menu and “Contact” Button. When the menu expands, it doesn’t push, because there’s no relation to the element under it. By creating a Stack, you tell the elements “I want you to always have this spacing between each other”, so when the Menu opens, the Stack grows in height, and the Contact button always remains underneath it. I recommend taking a look at this video, which goes into more details about what Stacks are and how they work - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESFNNso4Vlo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESFNNso4Vlo) * * * > [@Sash](#): > > The head doesnt even have drop shadow functionality that someone requested over 2 years ago. Headers don’t have the shadow option as they are Sections - as Sections are the base layer of the page, and reach side to side, for the most part, shadows are redundant (as Sections always touch the side of the screen and arranged tightly to one another). As suggested in that request, using a stretched container provides the same functionality 🙂 * * * > [@Sash](#): > > Additionally, when using sub menus, when you have 1st sub menu items, then second level deep, it doesnt nest back into the 1st sub menu layer like is common in websites, instead forces the second layer in the menu to be inline with the first making it extremely confusing for users. I guess you’re talking about the “Flyout” option, right? I’ve asked the team and will circle round once I have more info. * * * I appreciate all the insights shared in this topic and shared a link with the team 🙂 Thanks for sharing! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.wixstudio.com/t/adjust-menu-size-to-fit-full-height-of-menu-row/69814)._
