Okay, here’s the setup:
You have your menu.
And underneath your buttons you have an “arrow” which only points at one button at a time. When you roll over another button the arrow also moves to that button.
I know how to do it, I’m looking for a name for this.
What would you call this? :h:

Thanks for the replies. I figured something with word ‘sliding’ in it should work.
Thankyou.
