Important!

Please make sure you don't remove the code from Snip underlined nav as it has different styles in Matrix themes

How to use

If you set up the brand color of your website blue or any other, all elements such as input buttons, active and hover menu, horizontal line etc will have the same color. Now, if we want to customize a specific element making it different from the main primary color, we need to use the following classes placed directly in HTML:

custom color link in footer


<div class="hs-footer has-custom-hr">
...

Custom background for input button


<div class="hs-footer has-custom-btn">
...

Custom hover/Active link in mobile menu


<ul class="menu has-custom-menu-mobile">
...

cusTom hover for input/default buttons

This class can be used in HTML and Widget/HTML as well:


<div class="hs-footer has-custom-btn-hover">
...


<a class="hs-button has-custom-btn-hover" href="http://www.matrix-themes.com/" target="">Custom button
</a>
