How to add a hover effect to the header.

Topic summary

Goal: add a simple hover-triggered dropdown under the header’s “Products” menu item that lists all individual products for quick navigation.

  • Current behavior: hovering “Products” makes the label bold and shows a black dot beneath it. The requester wants to keep this effect.
  • Desired change: when hovering “Products,” a small dropdown should appear listing every product, allowing a direct click-through to each product page. The look and behavior should match the example site provided.

References provided:

  • Store URL for context and testing.
  • Example implementation: tomnoske.store.
  • Multiple screenshots illustrating the intended dropdown design (images are central to understanding the desired UI).

Latest update: support asked how the user wants to modify the existing hover state. The user clarified requirements (keep current bold/dot, add dropdown of all products) and followed up requesting progress.

Status: no solution or implementation steps shared yet; awaiting guidance on how to configure (theme settings vs. custom code) to produce a hover dropdown that lists all products under “Products.”

Yes, when I hover over the products, a black dot and bold text appear. I want to keep that as it is.

I’d just like to add an effect where, when I hover over “Products,” a small dropdown menu appears underneath, showing all my products. This way, I can simply click on a product and be redirected to it.

Exactly like this:
