Hi, i am experimenting with theme creation. I have a menu which displays in a list form, i have tried to change it by adding custom theme & Design. but still displays as a list not a wide menu, all in a line.

what am i doing wrong.

You need to target the list with some CSS to change it's formatting. There are several ways to approach it which depend on exactly how you need it to work, but this is a basic way of doing it:

header nav li {
    display: inline;
}

Look at your source code, you have unclosed elements in the header. I’ll assume it’s the nav template you’re using. You can’t use the ‘Responsive Header Navigation’ template with your custom theme.

Is 'wrapper' supposed to 'wrap' the main page content, it's not?

Why use ‘Bootstrap.css’, A newer version is included with C5?

Why call so many css and js files.

CSS files can all be called from the themes ‘default’ less file.

Some js files are not being used?

I use
" display: block;" to let the links appear in a line.

I recommend creating a special CSS-File only for the menu.
