Hi Christopher – Thanks for your reply. However, modifying the style.css as you advised above does not seem to solve my problem. When I inspect it using the Chrome inspection tool, that css does not seem to be picked up, even if I put !important on it. Additionally, I tried adding it on the fly through the inspector with the state set to hover, and it just sort of grayed out (the css) and had no effect on the background color.
I would appreciate any additional direction you can give.
