Hi, finally I've fixed my problem. In my customisation layer I've done the following changes:
- in pelt-html.leftbar.panel.xml I've commented out the call to the nav-section-round-bottom contract - in nav-section.ft, I've added a template with the same functionality than the nav-section-round-bottom contract. I've added too a conditional call to this template: it is called from <xsl:template match='/'> when the condition <xsl:if test="$nav-section/navigation/menu != ''"> is fulfilled In a few words, if a tab doesn't contain a navigation menu then the bottom is not rounded. Probably this can be achieved in a much easier way (it works fine if I use the skinconfig approach instead of the dispatcher) but, as a good newbie, I cannot find it. Please tell me if you know a better solution.
