That was the first thing I tried. I tried things like this:
.gaugePress:hover{color: #fff}
.gaugePress:hover{width: 85%; height: auto;}
.gaugePress:hover {box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);}
nothing did anything except the box shadow which only styled the div box, it did’t do anything to the actual meter.
