Canvas LMS Better Left Menu Plug-in

Plugin for the Canvas LMS theme app that adds several options to improve the left menu.

Features

This plug-in fixes the following issues with the left menu:

• The scrollbar on the menu will adjust it's height to fill the available screen height.
• The tooltips will display on the right hand side so they don't overlap with the other links in the menu.

The following configurable options are available:

• Hide the scrollbar or have it only appear on hover.
• Switch back to the classic menu styles (with current selection background in primary color).
• Use a thinner version of the scrollbar.
• Reset the scrollbar on page scroll or when the menu is expanded.

Installation

Using NPM:

npm install @artevelde-uas/canvas-lms-better-left-menu-plugin

Using Yarn:

yarn add @artevelde-uas/canvas-lms-better-left-menu-plugin

Usage

Just import the plug-in and add it to the Canvas app:
