Python kivy md Navigation Bar placement?
I am trying to restructure the kivymd project file but I am not able to place the navigation bar at the place at which it is normally. I cannot see why this is happening (see pictures and code below).
This is how it looks like
and this is how it should look like
I am using the three files app.py, app.kv and labels.py (for injecting labels from a *.py file).

You might have a kv file with a name, main.kv
With KivyMD installed on my machine, and some minor changes, the KivyMD App ran fine.
