Fixed Left Sidebar in Oxygen

Sridhar Katakam

Below screencast shows how we can create a layout in Oxygen that has a fixed left sidebar and a scrolling content div on the right.

We shall add a logo and menu in the left sidebar and dynamic title and content in the right.

Notes:

overflow: hidden

Left Div

background-color: #3d4c59
