Hey John,
The part you’ve described is a fixed design of our theme so your request is essentially under theme customization which is outside the scope of theme support.
If you need a header or footer design that could not be achieved using the theme options, it’s highly recommended to upgrade to our Pro theme.
I’d provide the override code for now but please consider upgrading to Pro if you have more header customizations.
Please add the following code in Theme Options > CSS.
.x-navbar .desktop .x-nav > li > a:hover > span, .x-navbar .desktop .x-nav > li.x-active > a > span, .x-navbar .desktop .x-nav > li.current-menu-item > a > span {
box-shadow: none;
}
Thanks.
