Hi Graham, the color of the Icon Bar icons is defined as Primary colour in the Site Styles stack. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/4/403ae5e425762a56494a648ccc8dec43a26673ef.png) If you want to change it via css, please use this code: ``` .icon-bar i{ color:red !important; } ``` Cheers, Jochen ---

If you set the Icon Bar Style to Custom, you can set the colours there. Icon Bar doesn’t do animations and will only change the colours. To use an animation you can use the S4S Hoverbox and use an image for the closed envelope and a “hovered” image for the open envelope. The hover transition will make it look animated.
