Getting started

You can customize the style, look & feel of your navigation stuff using CSS. We've included some examples on this page. But first, here's how to get access to the CSS area:

To get started:

  • Open any course and open the Course Settings section
  • Open the CSS sub-section
  • Set the Enable Custom CSS For This Course toggle to ON (green)
  • You should then see the CSS field appear. Add your CSS code to that box alongside any other code you may have already added to it.

Feel free to customize & change the examples below, remove what you don't need, or add in any new rules you want.

Customize the font & style used in all navigation

Access the CSS area using the instructions above, and then use the following code:

.custom-navigation-item {
   font-family: arial;
   font-size: 17px;
   background: lightyellow !important;
   color:red !important;
}

Customize the Color of the Search Icon in the Navigation Bar

Access the CSS area using the instructions above, and then use the following code:

[id^=navigation] > svg { color:#C717FF !important; }

Customize the Color of the Magnifying Glass Icon in the Search Field

Access the CSS area using the instructions above, and then use the following code:

[id^=navigation] > svg { color:#C717FF !important; }

Create a sidebar navigation instead of a top navigation

To do this, you'll need to add it into a HTML/JS block onto every page where you want the sidebar to show, like this:

Next, copy & paste the following code into the HTML block.
