This was fun -- I explored adding a gradient to the text of the h2 and I added a bottom border with a deep border-radius on the list items. Very happy with the outcome!

I couldn't resist my color choices! https://codepen.io/kldickenson/pen/jOwzErY

🍦 🍦 🍦 Wow, thought you had taken those colors out of the photo, but they're word colors (ivory, chocolate)! Great find and they blend so well with the page. Thanks for sharing!

🍦 🍦 🍦 Looks fabulous and yummy! You don't need that .size class -- you have display: block on the A style, so you're good to go here. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jen,

Okay, thank you.

I see that since it is block, it will cover the entire length.

I got carried away with color and it didn't necessarily enhance the visibility of the menu, but it was fun:

🍦 🍦 🍦 Wow, those links look fantastic! True, legibility could be better, but those are perfect for an ice cream or gelato site - fun, pretty colors, good enough to eat. Thanks for sharing!

🍦 🍦 🍦 Lovely and clean, William! Do you think you could make this navbar without the height attributes? Height can be helpful if you have a fixed-height item (like a decorative box). However, when text is introduced, it needs room to grow under a user's settings. Height can cut off text if it gets too large. Thanks for sharing!

I hadn't thought about that! I replaced it with padding, which should allow the text to resize properly, right? thanks!

Jen Kramer's avatar

Exactly! Padding is a much better choice, and your design will be more flexible. 😁

Thanks Chris - I get a "page not found"?

That would do it! 🍦 🍦 🍦 Navbar looks great! If you're wondering why the hover state doesn't fill the whole area, you have some padding on the li style (twice). Move that padding to the a style, and your hover will go from border to border. Nice job and thanks for sharing!
