Description

Having the LuCI menu on the right and the submenu on the left is not very intuitive.

Your approach is nice, the web page menu is more compact and probably better in many ways.

However, in my opinion, puting the qMp menu next to the Administration menu may generate confusion to the normal user.

They should only use qMp menu (which is an abstraction layer) and not the Administration menu provided by LUCI. For instance, if they want to change the IP address they should go to "qMp -> Configuration -> Wizard" or "qMp -> Configuration -> Network" but not to "Administration -> Network" since if they change something there the changes will be overwriten by the qMp processes.

This is why I think having the "Administration" menu a little bit hidden is, in general, better for the normal user.

In the other side, some months ago OpenWRT/LUCI changed the default theme to "bootstrap" which is very nice and looks quite professional for me. Of course it just an opinion and should be up to the user.

I opened this issue to report the confusing location of the menu and submenu. I think you are talking about another topic. Please could you open another issue or change the description of this issue?

I only fixed the little confusing location of the menus for current theme. The "qMp" and "Administration" options were already together before this modification.

Feel free to hide the "Administration" option, but I think maybe restructuring the menu is better. And feel free to change the default theme as well.
