In this, the second installment of our Submandating guide, we'll dive deeper into the world of clandestine menu engineering.
Submandating: the art of hiding menus in plain sight. A delicate dance of subtle trickery, requiring precision and finesse.
Key principles:
1. The "Shadow Menu"
Use CSS to create a menu that blends seamlessly into the background, making it invisible to the untrained eye.
Example:
#shadow-menu {
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#shadow-menu ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#shadow-menu ul li {
display: none;
}
2. The "Mirror Menu"
Reflect a menu item's image onto a background element, creating a " mirror-like" effect that defies the laws of reality.
Example:
#mirror-menu {
position: relative;
}
#mirror-menu img {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: #ffffff;
}
#mirror-menu .reflected {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: url("path/to/your/image.jpg") no-repeat;
}
