A Shopify store owner seeks to customize their FAQ section’s hover effects to match a reference website (velthentic.com), specifically wanting a darker background hover state and a black circular background on the arrow icon.
Key Requirements:
Gray background for entire FAQ section
Bold question text
Black circular background on arrow icon when hovering (without changing question background color)
Reduced spacing between elements
Semi-bold font weight for questions
Line separators instead of bordered boxes
Solution Provided:
Multiple CSS snippets were shared to achieve the desired effects, primarily targeting .faq-item, .faq-list, and .faq-question:hover .faq-icon classes. The final working code includes:
Gray background (#f2f2f2) for FAQ list
Black circular hover effect on arrow icons
Border-bottom separators instead of full borders
Font-weight adjustments (600 for semi-bold)
Padding modifications
Implementation Location:
CSS should be added to either theme.css file or through Themes → Customize → Custom CSS section.
Current Status:
The user confirmed the solution works but expressed concerns about the overall design appearance. The conversation remains ongoing as they seek to further refine the FAQ section styling to more closely match their reference example.

How to change the color of the background of an FAQ question section when hover with the mouse?
I already have this effect but is too light. I want to make more noticeble by making it more dark Or to add a very black circle on the arrow when hover with the mouse. Like this website did: High Waist Denim Balloon Jeans
This is my website. And the liquid of the FAQ section is named: faq-accordation.liquid
Hello, to everyone who texted and thank you! Actually some things worked but I want to make a slightly different design of this section. So basically as the store velthentic.com it has this FAQ section I want mine. I am attaching a picture of it bellow. Whats the difference with mine is that there is grey background color behind all the faqs and makes the section visible. I want that too + the Bold letters of the question + the way when we are over the question the arrow on the side turns black. How to create that FAQ’s section please?
Hi,
We are close. Is almost the same but as you see on the example FAQ tab there only the arrow showing in black circle when we hover over the question.. I dont want in this case the background of the question to switch color as well. Let the background color stay grey as all other question and only the arrow to show with black circle on the question we hover on. Do you understand? Thank you very much for your patience!
There is no base.css. This is Impulse theme. There theme.css.liquid and if is about this place, the code doesn’t work then because I already tried there
