1) Can you please help how can I adjust the distance between the Categories?

In “Header Builder > All departments > Dropdown > Computed Box > edit padding top and bottom” I can edit the padding, but not the distance between the categories, and I’d like to pull them a bit together, so it doesn’t occupy a big space there. (I attached screenshot)

2) Is there a way or code to put Separators between the categories? (see on image)

3) Is there a way to set a Hover-color when a category is hovered over?

4) Setting All departments background:
I put the code here in case someone needs it:
Into custom CSS:

.secondary-menu-wrapper .menu {
background-color: #fafafa !important;
}

Hi Tony,

thank you.
A few things to clarify:

1) Is there a way to make the distance less than 0?

2) I mean how can I create Separators, gray thin lines between the Categories, like here:

3) Hover color, can you please share a code to set the background-color of when a Category-item is hovered over?

One more question 🙂

Customizing the second level-menu:
– how can I set a background in the second level-menu (I would like #fafafa background)?
– how can I set the second level-menu bordercolor to #e1e1e1?
– how can I set lightgray Separator in the second level-menu?

Like here: https://postimg.cc/PLdj5BRY

Thank you!
