I want to remove the fill and border when hovering over drop down menu links. I styled it so the menu items will italicize and be light grey when hovered over but I dont want the box surrounding the selections. Ive attached a photo for reference. Where the text is light grey, is where my cursor is and “home” is the page that i was actively on. Thanks!
