Hi, I have a currency selector in the header on hover, and I’d like to add a smooth slide-out animation when I hover over it. I want the same or a similar animation as I have under the menu item “PRODUCTS.”

Here is my store URL: https://1049xn-ya.myshopify.com/

Thanks a lot,
Tim

Hi @CreatorTim , thanks for reaching out.

I reviewed your request, and while animations like the one under your “PRODUCTS” menu item can enhance the user experience, it’s true that each theme handles animations differently. As I result, in this case, I recommend you consider hiring an external developer who can customize the animation to your liking. Otherwise, you can contact your theme developer for a tailored solution that aligns with your theme’s structure.

Additionally, it’s important to note that animations may impact your store’s loading speed.

I hope my information is helpful to you, and please feel free to feedback.

Liz
