Align navigation title with dropdown folder

Hi

How do you get your navigation link to centrally align with it's drop down menu. 

I would like the text 'Resources' to be centrally aligned with the text/box in the drop down menu.

At the moment the drop down menu is hanging off to the left! 

Thanks!

Can you share link to your site?

The problem is that it's not live yet! It's built in Squarespace 7.1. 

I used: 

.header-nav-folder-item {
    text-align: center;
}

to align the drop down menu text with the box, but struggling to make it all centrally align to the folder title! 

You can setup password & share url

Hi Tuanphan,

Many thanks,

Mark

If you share link to your site, we can check easier.

Hi @tuanphan I'm also needing a hand with this.

I'm trying to align the drop down text to the left hand side, so that it all sits in line with the "Our Services" text in the global nav. See screenshot attached for reference... I'm wanting to align all text where that guide is. Is this possible?!?

Code I've used for the drop down nav here is:

//Stylized Folder Dropdown Menu
@linkBGColor: #2A6BA7;
@linkTextColor: #fff;
.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content {
  padding: 0;
  .header-nav-folder-item {
    padding: .3em 1em;
  }
  .header-nav-folder-item:hover {
    background: @linkBGColor;
    a {
      color: @linkTextColor;
    }
  }
}

Thanks so much for your help! Seriously appreciated!

Thanks @tuanphan ! Just had to add in the "text-align" line and it worked.

Much appreciate, as always!

Hello @tuanphan! I could also use some support for my dropdown menu. My site is live: https://www.greenr-cleanr.com/

I would like both the dropdown menu box and the texts inside the box to be left aligned. After I added the codes you provided above, I got the dropdown menu (text box) to align left with the tab Services, but the texts inside the menu are still aligned to the right. 

Current code set: 

//Stylized Folder Dropdown Menu
@linkBGColor: #78C144;
@linkTextColor: #fff;
.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content {
  padding: 0;
  .header-nav-folder-item {
    padding: .5em 1em;
  }
  .header-nav-folder-item:hover {
    background: @linkBGColor;
    a {
      color: @linkTextColor;
    }
  }
}

.header-nav-folder-content {
    right: auto !important;
}

Thank you!

I see on tablet, the icon doesn't look good. Do you want to increase width?

@tuanphan The code for alignment worked beautifully. Thank you so much! 

And thanks for catching the icon issue. I've just fixed it. However, I came across another issue I'm noticing on my iPad: the texts in the navigation menu are all mushed together...

You can adjust line-height menu item

Ah yes, I just tried adjusting in the menu item and it seems to adjust the line hight between each nav tab only but not the texts within each individual tab/label. As you can see, mobile phone might be able to get away with the snug fitting ling spacing. The iPad view port, on the other hand, is still problematic.

Any other solutions/workarounds or is my only option to shorten the texts for each tab?

Hey @tuanphan could you help me as well? I was able to center the text but not the folder. The site is www.silvereagleadvisors.com/home and I'm using Brine.
