How to change menu position

Dear all,

I'm quite new of Liferay development.
In my application, developed with Liferay CE 7.3  GA1, I'm using the classic theme delivered with product.
My customer asked me to edit the menu position, moving it from the top of the page to the left side and using a button to toggle it.
Since I've never developed a custom theme, I don't know if I need to create a new theme or I can edit the classic theme editing some css property with a kind of extention.
Have you ever had this kind of request from your customers? What is the best way (in terms of less effort) to handle it?
Can you please support me?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Alex

Hi ,
I assume your referring to the control menu on top , this change in position can be done  through the theme,   you can refer line which display the control menu in theme

You can either create new theme by inheriting the classic theme /styled  or try themelet also
