Not as far as I can tell, but Twenty Twelve is an open source theme developed by volunteers, and they're always looking for improvements and such.

I made note of the request yesterday, but can't guarantee that anything will be done.

Any way we can find out if it's being considered? This theme really needs the ability to customise or disable the mobile menu. It would be good to know if there are plans to make these changes.

Shortly after posting this I went away for a little while so haven't had chance to post.

Twenty Twelve is a great theme but it really is let down by this. Could this mobile menu button not be disabled? I've not seen a button like this on any other theme and I really don't like it, it looks awful. Surely we should get an option to toggle this menu button on or off?

I don't want to seem ungrateful to the developers. Quite the opposite — I love this theme and want to use it everywhere! Unfortunately I don't think it can be used everywhere. So it goes.

But you make a very relevant point . This isn't just an IE issue. On any small screen, Twenty Twelve ignores my menus and simply list all the pages.

Is there any way to customize the mobile menu with Twenty Twelve? If there isn't, it can't really be used on any site with more than a few pages.

Just a friendly recommendation, for the sake of mobile viewers (who are now scrolling through 50 items to get to your content), you might want to consider shortening that menu a bit.

With IE 8, the custom menu is gone, and the "menu" pull-down lists all 50+ pages, slightly indented to indicate page hierarchy.

What I meant by "adding some structure" is that you could create menu items and sub-menu items, especially if you had "a site with a lot of pages," as you had mentioned. It isn't really necessary on a site with only three pages, where one of those is already the Home page.

I have a custom menu. With TwentyTwelve + IE 8, my custom menu is replaced with a mobile menu button, with an unstructured page list pulldown.

On a site with a lot of pages, it's a uselessly long list.

I suppose this is a problem with the mobile menu overall? But when I have to support IE 8 users who are, shall we say, less than technologically adept, this mysterious page list is a total deal-breaker. Sad.

From what I gather, defaulting to the mobile version (or something similar) for IE 8 is "failing gracefully," as there's quite a bit in the standard Twenty Twelve that it simply butchers.

As for the menu, users stuck on IE 8 should be able to click the "Menu" button to reveal the menu.

I don't like the fact that I have a lot of IE 8 users but I do. I'm afraid this lovely new default theme is totally useless for me.

Frankly I'm not surprised as the latest stable version is IE9 and as lance says "... older versions of IE don't support modern CSS and media queries very well. We looked at a lot of angles and solutions and nothing worked perfectly, see more discussion at http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21440.

I can't upgrade from IE8 to IE9 because I'm running Windows XP but it doesn't matter to me as I rarely use IE8. I've been using Firefox since IE was IE6. You can upgrade or download any browser version here http://browsehappy.cvom

WordPress has decided to abandon IE 8 support for the default theme.

It only shows the pull-down mobile menu, at all window widths.

Since it shows the pull-down "menu" button at full browser width, it looks really bad. I don't think the Twenty Twelve theme should be used on any website that has visitors using Windows/IE.
