 * Hey,
 * I want to change the navigation menu so that all items are automatically bold,
   and the background of the menu items is changed to a darker shade of green on
   hover. I know how to bold the menu items, but I don’t know how to darken the 
   background.

 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * You can try this in your Custom CSS for achieving that:
 *     ```
       .primary-menu li a:hover {
           background-color: #045904 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thank you.

 * Hello Sam,
 * Thanks. It mostly worked. But for some reason the two menu items on the right(
   the ones without a drop down menu) do not display text when I hover over them
   if the darkened menu is turned on.

 * I tried this, but it didn’t fix the problem:
 *     ```
       .primary-menu li a:hover {
           background-color: #045904 !important;
         color: white #ffffff !important;
       }
       ```
