When the Trigger is active, the Trigger color and the Trigger Background color will not changed as I have saved in the Admin Menu Section. What can be the reason for that issue? See also the screencapture where you can see the colors I have saved, but it change not when it’s needed. See it [here](https://prnt.sc/mf6fsj).

How strange that in almost 2m downloads you are the first to notice/ want these options. * I will add it to my development list for you. * Thanks for letting me know! * Peter * Thread Starter [alainmelsens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alainmelsens/) * (@alainmelsens) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-active-trigger-active-trigger-background/#post-11168626) * Hey, I will be glad if you could help me to adjust these options for the item and trigger because it should be nice if this will work as they are designed for. I hope you understand what I ment to have as effect to the trigger color en trigger background color. They must have the same options as the equal line items. In fact, the options are already in the admin sections as you can see but they doesn’t work properly as needed. So, why will you add this to your development list? I don’t understand that. I don’t ask new options, they are already in it. See the screencapture and test it yourself in my development website. Thanks in advanced.

Trigger Background has an Active colour option but not Current Menu Item colour option which is completely different. * I will need to add options for triggers to be able to set the Current Menu Item Background colour, which is why I need to add it to my development list. * All the best * Peter * Thread Starter [alainmelsens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alainmelsens/) * (@alainmelsens) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-active-trigger-active-trigger-background/#post-11169592) * Hey, Sorry, but I can’t follow your explication. 🙁 But it’s your tool and you know it as the best. For me, I thought there were already options but the results aren’t as expected. I will see it when there are new possibilities. In the meanwhile I will try to solved otherwise so I can use it.

Compare the options to the Menu ones and you’ll see the difference. * In the meantime writing the CSS to do it should only take 5 mins so you’re not completely stuck. * All the best * Peter * Thread Starter [alainmelsens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alainmelsens/) * (@alainmelsens) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-active-trigger-active-trigger-background/#post-11169985) * Hello, Sorry, but I’m not a good CSS expert as you are. So, I don’t want to waste time to write myself some (wrong) CSS code. Maybe you are right with the interpretation of the options. So what I need or want is at this moment not possible. In fact I don’t understand why I can modify the options for the Current Item and not for the Current Trigger. Because these is the real issue (I suppose). Anyway, I think I can manage it otherwise. Maybe it became to difficult…? 🙁 If you can help me lateron, I will be glad but now I will do it otherwise with the options that are working well. Again thanks for your time.

It’s a very simple change, the below should be all you need: * ``` .current-menu-item .responsive-menu-subarrow { background: red !important; color: white !important; } ``` * I hope that helps * Peter - This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/). * Thread Starter [alainmelsens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alainmelsens/) * (@alainmelsens) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-active-trigger-active-trigger-background/#post-11173999) * Hey, Yes, it’s going the right way. Thank you so much. But there is still another effect that remain and that is not what I expected. I mean the trigger backgroud from a menu with a submenu is still in the “red” background color as for the current item. Please, see what I mean on the [screencapture here](https://prnt.sc/mh9oj6). This trigger background color need to be transparant or the same background color as the item on the same line. And another one, is that the this trigger background color on hover needs be changed to the “red” color. I hope you can understand what I mean? Should you know which CSS code that I need add there for? We are almost to the result that I want. 🙂 Thanks in advance.
