Codrops has showed us how to reconstruct the Google Nexus Website Menu. It slides out with a really nice effect where some subitems get expanded as well. When hovering over a special menu icon, the sidebar icons will be revealed. When clicking on the icon, the whole sidebar menu will be shown. The first sidebar menu item is a search input which is styled the same way like the other menu items.
We will reconstruct this menu using unordered, nested lists and some CSS transitions. We’ll use JavaScript to apply classes for the opening effects and handling the hover and click events. With the help of a media query, we’ll adjust the size to make sense for smaller devices as well.

It looks like all of those rumors of Apple’s flat design for iOS 7 were accurate. The new icons are cleaner and aim for minimalism, compared to the detailed and colorful icons we’ve seen on the OS so far. As for other key differences, cellular reception is now indicated by five dots instead of bars, and the dock icons are separated by a simple transparent line.
Flat Design is a new trend labeled by the community as an interface striking similar to Windows 8 and Microsoft’s Metro UI because it leaves behind drop shadows, subtle textures and gradients in favour of solid colours, clean layouts and sharp typography.

Codrops has shared a tutorial: Responsive Retina-ready Menu that teach us how to create a colorful Retina-ready and responsive menu inspired by the colors of the Maliwan manufacturer of the Borderlands game.
The menu automatically changes to one of three different layouts depending on the browser window size: a “desktop†inline version, a two columns tablet-optimized version and a mobile version with a menu link to display and hide the navigation for smaller screens. To make the menu fully retina-ready, we use an icon font so that the icons of the menu won’t get pixelized on resize.
