Link color inherit theme link color and can not use the plugin. No choice between animate and not animate. No option between slide and don't slide.
But the big problem is the color.

Excellent plug-in qui fonctionne très bien. Je suis passé à la version Pro et je ne le regrette pas. Avant de sauter le pas, j'ai posé une question au support, la réponse a été très rapide et claire.

This review is for version 1.0, free version.
Pros:
Clean coding, light weight. works fine and looks nice.
You can:
- Choose any FontAwesome icon from its library and set the size
- Add any text to the labels and set the size of the font
- Add as many items to the menu as you want
- Assign them any link, choose to open the link in a new window or not.
- Set media queries (show or hide menu depending on the screen size.)
- Use it globally in every page or by shortcode.
- Set id for element and class for element
Cos:
It comes with only 1 color option, dark green, with a lighter green effect on hover.
I think it would be a good idea to give users of free version at least 2 color options.
However, we are still able to set a class and an ID for the element, so be creative.
This author has a lot of nice side menu and call to action floating buttons worth checking out. I'm becoming a fan.
EDITED:
I initially rated the plugin 4 stars and I'm changing it to to 5 stars because I just realized the WP plugin rating is faulty:
Ratings should be version specific. It's not fair to authors to bundle all user's ratings as if they belong to current plugin version. If you improve your plugin according to what users expect, you are still affected by old version's ratings and reviews.
I didn't realize this up until now, though I usually give only positive reviews.
