From this tutorial, you’ll learn how to adjust the style settings of the menu items on hover and click according to your needs with the JetMenu plugin for Elementor.

Customizing the Menu Items Style on Hover and Click

You can style up the main menu item’s appearance on hover and click from WordPress Dashboard or Elementor page builder. Proceed to the JetMenu > Main Menu Styles or directly via Elementor page builder to customize the styles for Mega Menu or Vertical Mega Menu widget.

Just switch between the modes and define the different style settings for each of them whenever you need to alter the main menu item’s appearance on hover or when it becomes active.

E.g., you can change the item’s text or description color when you hover over it.

Colors and Backgrounds

Also, you can set a different color for the item’s icon and set the color for the drop-down arrow so that it changes when the drop-down opens.

You can as well set different background color and use different background types. E.g., keep using the solid color in the normal mode and add a gradient with the light opacity on hover and when the item becomes active.

Another effect is to underline the item when one hover over it. To accomplish this, you can add a Solid border type on hover and then set its width to 0 px for Top, Right and Left and set the necessary border width (e.g., 3 px) for the Bottom value.

The border color can also be adjusted.

Actually, it can be fun to manage the main menu item’s appearance on hover and when they become active. You can create different stylish designs in a matter of a few clicks.

Customizing Sub Menu Items Style

Also, the same Hover and Active modes are available for the Sub menu items. To access them, open the Sub Menu block and here, look for the corresponding settings.
