How can I change the hover color on a custom social media icon?

Site URL: https://typeaprofessionals.com

Hello! For my social media icons, I was able to replace Squarespace's generic link icon with a customized Google icon using the code below (and uploading an image of the Google icon).

However, I would like the Google icon to hover on the same color as my other social media icons. Does someone know how to add to my code below to make this work?

Thank you in advance!

------

//replace link icon with Google icon//

.sqs-svg-icon--list a:nth-of-type(2) { svg {  display:none;  }  background-image: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec8617eea936a6584ab0cca/t/603c4d56d5c9360a36489e3a/1614564694083/G+icon.png);  background-size: 83%;  background-repeat: no-repeat;}

//social media icons color//

//standard color//
.sqs-use--icon {
  fill: #d9d9d6 !important;
}

//social media icons color on hover//
.sqs-svg-icon--wrapper:hover {
  .sqs-use--icon {
    fill: #babc16 !important;
  } 
}

You should use image editor to create the image with new color and add this css for hover 

.sqs-svg-icon--list a:nth-of-type(2):hover {
    background-image: url(-hover-image-url);
    background-size: 83%;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Thank you bangank36, I uploaded a green version of the icon and added your CSS, but now the icon disappears on hover instead of turning green.

Any ideas?

Haha, I thought I deleted your placeholder text when I pasted the new URL but now I see that I hadn't 🙃

It looks perfect!! Thank you for the elegant solution!!

Hi. I see some pages on tablet are a bit narrow. Do you want to change to 2 columns/row?

Yes! My site looks okay on a horizontal tablet view but vertical looks terrible, as you noticed 🙂

If you can instruct me how to fix it, I would be most grateful. Thank you!

Thank you! Looks much better. Is it possible to have the second column underneath the first column and the fourth column underneath the third column so they read down in alphabetical order?

Hi @tuanphan,

I redesigned my site and now the code that you previously provided to me to make my projects list section look great in tablet view no longer works, and my attempts to rework your code have been unsuccessful.

Can you please help me again? On my home page in the "We do it all. And then some." section, I'd like for that list of four columns to appear as just two (alphabetical) columns in tablet view.

Column 4: #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1620053498091_9427

Also, do you want to improve these?

Site URL – https://www.typeaprofessionals.com/

1. (Mobile-Homepage) Make buttons side by side

2. (Mobile-Homepage) reduce white spacing?

3. (Mobile-Homepage) Equal spacing between items?

4. (Mobile-Homepage) Change to 2 logos/row?

5. (Mobile-Homepage) reduce white spacing?

6. (Mobile) Page looks long on mobile. Want to add a back to top button?

Worked, thank you! Is there a way to change the order of the columns in tablet view so the list reads in alphabetical order from top to bottom?

Current:

1st column     2nd column

3rd column   4th column

Preferred:

1st column     3rd column

2nd column   4th column

I was able to decrease all the white spacing by hiding the individual spacers I didn't want to show on mobile. If there's a better way to do this, I'd love to know. Thank you for that suggestion!

Hi. Which problem?

--

Sorry, my site is suspend so some images can't load properly.

I moved the projects list to the home page so the previous code you gave me doesn't work and I don't know how/where to get the new div code?? Sorry!!

I'd also love to improve the "testimonials page" on tablet and have the quotes be 2 columns across in 3 rows instead of 3 columns across in 2 rows. Is this possible?

Hi. Which code doesn't work? Can you describe the problem?

Can you share link to testimonial page?

Hi Tuan,

This code no longer works for the projects section on my homepage:

@media screen and (max-width:767px) { div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1620053642909_82057+.row .span-3 { width: 50%; } }

I would like the 4 columns to appear as 2 columns in tablet view.

And on my testimonials page, I'd like the 3 columns to appear as 2 columns in tablet view.

Thank you!

You got to find the new block id since each of them has different id using this tool

Squarespace ID Finder - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

For your case, add a new space on top of the row and change the id accordingly

Hi Bangan, thanks for the response! I have the block IDs for the 4 columns, I just don't know how to use them in CSS to get the 4 columns to appear as 2 columns in tablet view. 

Here are the block IDs:

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1620053498091_5173

Hi, thank you, but the bottom two testimonials are not aligned in the same columns as the top four testimonials (see attached). Any idea how to fix?

You mean align like this?

Yes! Ideally the columns would be equal in width. Thank you!
