Hi all, can someone help me with this? I'm trying to change the font color to white and bold so it stand out more.

Any help appreciated! Thank you.

Hi BigglyBoo,

Do you want to do this to all menu items or only some?

If you want to target only some menu items then you should find what you need in this thread: https://community.shopify.com/c/Technical-Q-A/Anyone-know-how-to-change-the-colour-of-one-title-SALE...

Note that I did try Bo's suggestion of adding <span> tags to the menu items but that doesn't seem to work for the Debut theme. If you want to take that approach you will need to edit your theme's 'header.liquid' file (Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code > Sections > header.liquid) Within that file you will need to remove the 'escape' filter from all references to your menu items. For example {{ link.title | escape }} becomes {{ link.title }}, {{ childlink.title | escape }} becomes {{ childlink.title }}, {{ grandchildlink.title | escape }} becomes {{ grandchildlink.title }}. Alternatively, you could use the other approach that I suggested in that thread.

If instead you want to change all menu items you can add some css rules to the bottom of your 'theme.scss.liquid' file (Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code > Assets > theme.scss.liquid):

.site-nav__link--active .site-nav__label {
  border-bottom-color: white;
}

.site-nav__link .site-nav__label {
  color: white;
}

I would also suggest that instead of 'white' you use 'rgba(255,255,255,0.85)'. It will provide a slight bit of transparency to your text so that it sits better on the background colour.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Tom

Hi  @Yugen 

Add this css in asset->theme.scss file

.site-nav li a {font-weight: 600;}

@Jasoliya @LittleVentures Thanks guys, it worked!

@LittleVentures That's very interesting to know about changing the colour of one menu item. I'll save it for the future!

Hi!

When I used the code to make the nav menu bold, it only made the normal menu items bold but not the ones that have drop down links. What do I do to make all of them bold?

send me store url

I managed to sort the header navigation menu, but I'm struggling to do footer menu items.

I need INFORMATION and CUSTOMER CARE in the footer to be BOLD. But only those 2 headings.

Let me know if you can help

I tried this code on my debut theme and unfortunately it didnt work. If anyone knows how to make the main menu (Home, Shop All, etc.) in bold let me know. I want to keep the same color and the same font...I just want it to be bold so it stands out a little more.

[Jasoliya]

1. Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
2. Asset->theme.scss->paste bellow code in bottom of file

.site-nav a,.site-nav__link--button {font-weight: bold;}
