Is there a way to make it so that the menu header when clicked it stays on blue color (like the hover effect and underline border) depending on the page? Ex: if i click on catalog i want the underline border + the color blue of the hover to be active, etc.

Hello @David123123

In Shopify Admin, you can go to Edit theme code, open file base.css and add this code snippet at the bottom

.navigation-main-item .current {
    color: #2E9AFE;
}

Hello @David123123 ,

I checked your page and found that it has worked as you want.
