Menu Concept

This code is purely modal specific:
It was just some reorganization, I fixed it inthe CSS.
/* Login Modal */
/* Make the Overlay */
#login_expanded {
position: fixed;
z-index: 5;
inset: 0; /* Shorthand for top, right, bottom, and left */
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black w/ opacity */
backdrop-filter: blur(7px); /* Makes everything behind the overlay blurry to help focus on the login area. */
}

/* Center the Login Form */
#login {
background-color: teal;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
padding: 1rem;
}

/* Some Cleanup Code */
#login_expanded {
margin-top: -8px; /* Current */
margin-top: 0; /* So the overlay will display properly. */
}

.bubble_tail {
z-index: 50; /* Current is too high */
z-index: 1; /* Default is 0, so 1 is enough */
}

It's late now, I'll work on mobile version tomorrow. Let me know what you think, Karin.

Are those emojis? I don't see the login form, is that correct? Can you tell me what I need to look at?

Maybe if I give the html to chatgpt it can turn it into proper bbcode, want me to try? In case of login form that might not be a bad idea. But in case of the menu bar maybe you could try working with the existing header html.
Maybe we should also work more with animations and stuff, don't know how far we can get with pure css.

I had to use emojis in place for the icons. I think you can add BBCode for icons--Gemini says we can.
My avi is in place for the #top_right (which also contains the login area), and I saved room for the login area. I made it a fixed width, because as I mentioned before, I want to avoid movement in the page. (I'm not sure how to explain it...) Hopefully I'm explaining what you are looking at, but you are welcome to look at my CSS here, that will hopefully help as well.

You are certainly welcome to try.
In my learning-to-be-programmer, I've been working on learning how to utilize AI; if your IDE has AI, then it could give you some good ideas about how to redo the login area.
I don't have full access to the HTML, I'm just coping from the dev tools. I've made a simplified version for this BBC.
I can certainly add animation, I've worked with it before (see PS for side-track), I just haven't fooled with animating anything here yet because it kinda turns into a rabbit hole for me. However, if you have an idea of what you want, I can make it happen.
How do you mean? What would we not be able to do with CSS? I think at most, we would just have to reorganize the HTML--even if you want a bigger overhaul. On this project, I assumed you didn't want to change much, so that was one of my main considerations, but if you want something deeper, between us (including the others and AI), we can think of something good looking and functional.

PS: for the animation I made, I animated sprite art, a flappy pigeon, and then made it "fly" across the div~ It was fun to make, but it ended up not getting used. I've also done simpler, transition animations, no problem.

I did some more to the login/out area, on my profile. I haven't moved it here yet, because it uses variables and darkmode.
