 * Hi,
 * First off i want to say i love this plugin. Came across it only recently but 
   i know i’ll be using it in future.
 * Got a couple of questions though which i’m hoping you can help resolve.
 * 1) Is there a way to show a different icon when hovering? I have an icon in the
   menu currently and when i hover i want to show a different coloured icon. The
   same icon, just a different colour so people can see what they are hovering on
   or what page they are active on.
 * 2) Is there a way to disable the icons for tablets and mobiles?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi Alex,
 * As of now, the plugin doesn’t support these features yet, and you will need to
   modify your theme’s stylesheet or use the [Simple Custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/).
   I’m planning on adding these features for the next updates, just not sure when
   I’ll have the time for it yet.

 * Hi Dzikri,
 * Thanks for the speedy reply!
 * Could you point me in the direction i’d need to look to alter the icons when 
   hovering. I’ve tried doing CSS already and can’t seem to get it to work. Any 
   links to articles you would recommend?
 * Thanks!

 * Love it!
 * However…….I’m using a custom image.
 * So basically i’ll be swapping out for a different image. If that makes sense.
   Not sure if changing the colour would work.
 * Legend for making a video!
 * Got one for custom images and how to swap them on hover 😉

 * It’s much more complicated for custom images. I’ve already added this to my to-
   do list for the next plugin updates.

 * Ha. I guessed as much.
 * What i’ve managed to do as a workaround thus far is upload a transparent PNG 
   with nothing in it to create the menu icon space.
 * Then ive defined background images similar to how you did on that video.
 *     ```
       #menu-item-79 a {
       		width:  24.2px;
       		height: 75px;
       		display: block;
       		background-image: url('/menu_home.png');
       		background-repeat:no-repeat;
       		background-position: left top;
       margin-left:30px;
       margin-right:30px;
       	}
   
       #menu-item-79 a:active {
       		width:  24.2px;
       		height: 75px;
       		display: block;
       		background-image: url('/menu_home.png');
       		background-repeat:no-repeat;
       		background-position: right top;
       margin-left:30px;
       margin-right:30px;
       	}
   
       #menu-item-79 a:hover {
       		width:  24.2px;
       		height: 75px;
       		display: block;
       		background-image: url('/menu_home.png');
       		background-repeat:no-repeat;
       		background-position: right top;
       margin-left:30px;
       margin-right:30px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Im playing with the margins and trying to get the icon to be coloured when the
   page is active at the moment. Its proving to be difficult.

 * It works on Desktop however they are a bit off on mobile view. Which is why ideally
   id just disable the icons on the mobile view.

 * Any idea on when the plugin update will be by the way?
 * Just so i can keep an eye out.

 * The css sprite feature would need some time to develop, so I can’t really give
   you an estimation. I’d be sure to spend some of my free time adding this feature
   though.
