I tried with chrome on a laptop and I barely could see it. Same with an Desktop Mac on safari

Yes, but the majority of people who visits the website doesn’t show up the background

I did it! Thanks to your help…

I used your code but changed the size to 2px.

I appreciated, this thread can be closed now

Have a nice day!

Right, but I wanted those thin borders like that. Isn’t there another way?

Ok, thanks for helping anyway.

@andrew Nevins here:

#header-menu ul.menu a,
#colophon #access-footer ul.menu a {
color: #000000;
display: block;
line-height: 45px;
line-height: 4.5rem;
padding: 0 20px;
padding: 0 2rem;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
white-space: nowrap;
transition: width .8s;
-webkit-transition: width .8s;
min-width: 100px;
}

and here

#header-menu ul.menu li:hover > a,
#header-menu ul.menu a:focus,
#colophon #access-footer ul.menu a:hover,
#colophon #access-footer ul.menu a:focus {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #603388;
	border-top: 1px solid #603388;
}

#header-menu ul.menu a,

#colophon #access-footer ul.menu a {
color: #000000;
display: block;
line-height: 45px;
line-height: 4.5rem;
padding: 0 20px;
padding: 0 2rem;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
white-space: nowrap;
transition: width .8s;
-webkit-transition: width .8s;
min-width: 100px;
}

ul.menu a:hover {
width: 135px;
}

@kirkclarke here’s the menu code

I’ve applied your code like you told. Still not opening the list. Am I doing something wrong?

I understood that problem… The thing is, that I need this code:

#colophon #access-footer ul.menu a:focus {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #603388;
	border-top: 1px solid #603388;

For the the list from technical areas, projects and contacts to appear.

But when I put that code, it automatically disables de transition.

not working as I thought… what I wanted was, when the list of technical areas is on “hover” to have that effect… I hope you understand what I’m saying. If u checked it right now you will see it’s kinda messed up. I did as you told. Thanks for helping me by the way

My blog does work. I solved the problem anyway. thx
