I am trying to change both the background, and font color of the bootstrap 4 dropdown navigation.
I tried to use
.nav.nav-tabs > li.dropdown.active.open > a,
.nav.nav-tabs > li.dropdown.active.open > ul.dropdown-menu a:hover,
.nav.nav-tabs > li.dropdown.open > a,
.nav.nav-tabs > li.dropdown.open > ul.dropdown-menu a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #b91773;
border-color: #fff;
}
But this wasn't working too well for me. Here is my HTML:
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="http://example.com" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown link
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
.dropdown {list-style: none; background: green; padding: 10px; display: inline-block;}
.dropdown .nav-link {color:#fff; text-decoration: none;}
.dropdown .dropdown-menu a{color: #000; text-decoration: none;}
.dropdown .btn {background: green; color:#fff;}
.dropdown .btn:hover {background: cyan; color:#000;}
.dropdown .btn:active {background: cyan; color:#000;}
.dropdown .btn:focus {background: cyan; color:#000;}
.dropdown-menu .dropdown-item {display: inline-block; width: 100%; padding: 10px 5px;}
.container .dropdown .dropdown-menu a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #b91773;
border-color: #fff;
}

Here is a some code, hope it will helps you.
Edited
It is working fine now
I know this is already answered, but since I'm bookmarking it, I want to give the solution that worked for me when theming Bootsrap using Sass and NPM.
Note that I include functions and variables above my custom ones because I need to access them otherwise the compilation will fail. Read more about it on this issue.
Suppose you have your _custom.scss
like this:
@import "~bootstrap/scss/functions";
@import "~bootstrap/scss/variables";
// Add your custom variables here
@import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
Then you can go to Bootstrap's main variables file and copy over the ones you want to overwrite.
For example, if I want my dropdown background to be dark with white links I'd do it like:
$dropdown-bg: $dark;
$dropdown-link-color: $light;
And my _custom.scss
file after the changes would like like this:
@import "~bootstrap/scss/functions";
@import "~bootstrap/scss/variables";
// Add your custom variables here
$dropdown-bg: $dark;
$dropdown-link-color: $light;
@import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
And this is an image of what it looks like after compiling Sass:
This way I don't overwrite CSS rules avoiding unnecessary clutter.
In Bootstrap v4.3.1
I simply copy the CSS path
from the browser developer tools
, and add it to my Website.css
, and add to it some styles to much the look and feel of the website I am building:
/*drop-down override*/
div.btn-group.show div.dropdown-menu.show {
background-color: #4b4b4b;
}
div.btn-group.show div.dropdown-menu.show button.dropdown-item {
color: #e1e1e1;
}
div.btn-group.show div.dropdown-menu.show div.dropdown-divider {
border-top: 1px solid rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.9);
}
div.btn-group.show div.dropdown-menu.show button.dropdown-item:hover,
div.btn-group.show div.dropdown-menu.show button.dropdown-item:focus {
background-color: #1e1e1e;
color: #f0f0f0;
}
The result should look like this:
