Active Menu Highlight for Odoo 19

Highlight the active tab and dropdown item across all Odoo backend menus

Active Menu Highlight keeps the selected backend menu visible while users move between list, form, and dropdown actions. It adds a clear active state to the current navbar section and dropdown menu item across all backend menus in Odoo 19.

Active Top Menu

The parent navbar tab stays highlighted when the current action belongs to that menu section.

Active Dropdown Item

Dropdown entries get a visible active state, making nested backend menus easier to scan.

All Backend Menus

Works across Odoo backend menus with no extra setup, no models, and no external service.
