Navbar With Floating Pill Menu

A centred capsule with a menu inside it, which is the answer when the floating treatment is right for the page but a single row of links is not enough navigation. The panel drops on a spring and its rows arrive in sequence, so opening it feels like part of the design rather than a browser default.

It leans on a glass backing rather than full transparency, and that is a deliberate difference from the plain pill: text stays legible over a background that is moving underneath, which is exactly the case where a see through capsule falls apart. It stays compact enough that a full height hero still looks full height. If your site has one page worth linking to, this is more machinery than the job needs.
