'DHTML Menu' uses Javascript to reduce the number of page loads when you are using nested menus (sub-menus).

This is particularly useful when you want to immediately see which pages are in a sub-menu (and the sub-menus of that sub-menu, etc., etc.), because you will not have to open additional pages just to find out which pages are contained within.

The Navbar module (formerly called Mobile Friendly Navigation Toolbar) introduces a responsive administrative toolbar. It is a backport of the responsive toolbar that Drupal 8 ships with!

About

The Navbar module displays links to top-level administration menu items and links from other modules at the top of the screen.

Uses

Displaying administrative links
The Navbar module displays a bar containing top-level administrative components across the top of the screen. Below that, the Navbar module has a drawer section where it displays links provided by other modules, such as the core Shortcut module. The drawer can be hidden/shown by clicking on its corresponding tab.This documentation is for the 7.x-1.x Version.
