Footer Menu Items - Font Alteration

Topic summary

A user is attempting to modify footer menu item styling but encountering issues: their CSS changes only affect letter spacing rather than font size, and they want to replace the default underline hover effect with a scale animation.

Proposed Solution:
A respondent provided custom CSS code to be added to the base.css file:

  • Sets footer menu links to 10px font size
  • Replaces hover underline with a scale transformation (1.1x)
  • Includes transition effects for smooth animation

Implementation:
Navigate to: Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code > Asset > base.css, then paste the provided CSS at the bottom.

Note: The original CSS selector in the provided code appears to have a spacing issue (.list-menu __item--link should likely be .list-menu__item--link), though the hover selector is formatted correctly.

Hello!

I am trying to target my footer menu items text to make it smaller, but its only changing the letter spacing, not size. I also would like to customise the hover effect to scale instead of underline.

Thanks in advance,
Ella.
