Twenty Twelve: Menu Color-Hover

Hello,
you may use below code to color the text of the menu.

.main-navigation li a {
    color: #13203a !important;
}

Let me know if it works.

Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks a lot that worked ??
But what I meant was that I’d like to change the background color of the area (not the whole menu bar but only the “button”).
This should then appear at mouse over / hover.
Do you know what I mean?
Thanks a lot!
??

.nav-menu {
    background-color: #33ffee !important;
}

above code will change the menu area background color.
If its not your proper solution then please give the screenshot about what you want.
I will try to help you.

thanks.

.main-navigation li a:hover {
    background: black;
}

I mean this sort of change in color in the background of the ‘buttons’.
Sort of figured out how to change the color but now it’s still too narrow and only around the text.

Do you have a recommendation on how to define the space so that on roll-over it acts more like a button from the appearance?

Hope you know what I mean.
