Hello Gliders!

It’s been a couple weeks since our last community update, so we’ve got a heaping bundle of new stuff to share with you. Let’s dig in, eh?

## Custom CSS library for Glide apps

You can do a lot to tweak your Glide app visuals now that [custom CSS](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/user-experience/css-for-apps) is available on all paid Glide plans. Kudos to @ThinhDinh and the Low Code Agency team for this [amazing custom CSS library](https://css-library.glide.page/) that you can use for your Glide builds.

> Hello everyone, In light of Glide allowing CSS to be used on all paid plans in latest pricing announcements, I thought it’s a good time to create a library of CSS so we can help each other make our apps beautiful. The [Notion library](https://www.notion.so/glidecommunity/33d5984960d04785b38eeae6c5121001?v=5662bb67cd994c53ae87737ab952ddb2) for the same purpose was a huge success back then. I plan to bring over many of those to this library in the coming weeks. For our completely public library, we have these features: Library: Include all items that have been approved by admins to show to the p…

What are the secondary items you say are now in a dropdown when using topbar layout and divider when using sidebar layout? Is it possible to add sub menu items to the topbar or sidebar now?

Another great weekly update. Finding and organizing this content is a huge service and I find myself going to Announcements and scrolling your highlights to see what I have missed.

My request: I would love to have a single place to find your “From the community” and “New resources from Glide and friends” weekly highlights. Not sure if this is a ‘subtag’ or a ‘Category’ or even if it can be automated to pull this info out of your posts into their own ‘Category/Tag’.

Currently I go to Categories/Announcements and scroll to find your weekly “Community Update:” I am pretty sure an expert can figure out how to extract these and tag them/categorize them to show up on the left side for easier access.

That saves steps. Organizing the ‘sub-updates’ within the Community Update based on headers (or some other tagging method) so I can see them all in one place is the real “ask”.

Gotta make this a challenge for the experts…especially if they can figure out how to use some AI functionality. 😉

Sorry for the late response here…

If your app uses the top bar navigation layout, your secondary menu items will appear in a dropdown menu.

If your app uses the sidebar navigation layout, the secondary menu items will appear below a dividing line in the sidebar.

It only applies to the new paid plans, not the legacy ones.
