Here are three screenshots which demonstrate to obvious problems. ![1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/9/192fbbe9aa4f0ae041899e6c2f664ad7b3a7b153.png) ![2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/7/27985d35ff833c33c1303532ae574c52e6004d87.png) ![3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/0/f00c7d00bef5cd48d6becdac565286ea11ea5015.png) ---

Dan C. I think it is some kind of interaction between Default and Active States, Colour, and Text Shadow in the Font & Text Styles of the Navigator. Can’t undo the problem and can’t repeat it, so not sure. ---

Dan C. I’ll take it a step further and say it is an interaction only between Default and Active States and Colour in the Font & Text Styles of the Navigator. ---

Hi @paulcruice, I’m not sure I follow what the issue is — is it a problem with underline on the different hover states? Can you try and explain in more detail what you’re seeing and what you’re expecting - that would help us get it fixed up for you! ---

Dan, The main issue is shown in the screen shot 1. The first menu item should be white like all the rest. It doesn’t matter what I do, I am not able to change it to white. The second issue shows that when I underline the Menus, the first menu item is NOT underlined. The third issue is the underlining has turned to black (no doing of mine), except of course again for the first menu item. Strange. Cheers, Paul ---

Dan C., I have discovered that if I start with a new Navigator and I select Default State and select white colour, all menus change to white except the first menu item. If I then select Active State and select white the first menu item changes to white. But if I go back to Default and select Black only the first menu item changes to black and none of the rest.

The active state is for the selected (active) page. ---

Don’t understand the purpose of your last reply quoted: _The active state is for the selected (active) page._ I am working with just the one page. ---

Misunderstood Dan’s comment. Need to learn much. So have selected as solved. This is marked as solved under [Colouring of Default & Active State of the Navigator](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/colouring-of-default-active-state-of-the-navigator/46610)
