CSS snip:

nav
{
    position: sticky;
    top: 0;
}

.navbar-list
{
    list-style-type: none;
    padding: 4px;
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #1177d1;
}

.navbar-element
{
    float: left;
}

.navbar-element a
{
    display: block;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 8px;
}

.navbar-element a:hover
{
    background-color: black;
}

.navbar-current-page-link
{
    background-color: #d3edf4;
    color: pink; !important
}
