Split Screen Layout : I just shared a little overview of this feature in the beginning of your talk. With distinct split screen layout, music website owners can now promote their business with unique online presence. This layout puts all header elements on that left and posts/pages contents on the right window. So user is always expected to see navigation menu, social menu, logo, audio player on the left of the screen.
The site-wide player is accessible from the bottom of header area so visitors can enjoy music. Cue plugin helps you to add play-list for this media player so visitors can easily browse their favourite songs.
2 Off-Screen Panels : This is also a part of menu and audio player, but we are talking about it separately to give you clear idea. This theme shows a “Hamburger” style button (top left) to give you access to navigation menu. So you have to click this button to access menu links from of-screen navigation window. This type of menus are mostly used for mobile devices but you can access it for all devices.
Music Player (bottom right corner) also highlights a toggle off-screen button to load play-list. This section also loads on the screen in same way as menu-bar. They will save lots of space which is occupied to show links in default mode. Marquee developers has put them back in manual mode so user can browse it through off-screen buttons.
