I’ve just done a first component adding a drop-down menu to the header, using fk-d-menu. It’s really nice and straightforward to set up. Just style-wise, I don’t really like how the panel is attached right below the header:

From what I see this is also the case with new official components:

I tried adjusting the position, so it hovers a bit above or below. But I couldn’t really figure out a good way to do it. Is there a recommended approach?
