Thank you for the information.

I understand that you want the box instead of underline when hover.

Try this code.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “theme.scss.liquid, styles.scss.liquid or base.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
  4. And Save.
ul.list-menu.list-menu--inline span:hover {
    border: 1px solid black;
}
span.header__active-menu-item {
    text-decoration: none;
}

Ah, thank you! And would it also be possible to enlarge the box a little and then remove the original line

Sure. Takes time for me to find the underline selector.. :laughing:

ul.list-menu.list-menu--inline span:hover {
    padding: 5px;
}

You can add this one on the first code that I give they have same selector, only the padding: 5px

.header__menu-item:hover span {
    text-decoration: none;
    text-underline-offset: 0rem;
}

I hope it help.
