 * Hi to all! First of all to say that the theme is really nice… Simple, Easy, Minimal…
   GREAT!!!
 * I’m having trouble to customize current menu active. I’d like to style ( different
   background color and font color ) on active menu.
 * Has someone tried this? Anybody could give a hint how to do it?
 * Thank guys,
    Bole

 * I am looking for the same answer, although I would like the menu link to show
   as bold when you are on the page. I have created a child theme and tried to add
   text-decoration to the css, but with no luck.

 * Hi Guys,
 * Have you tried this style?
 *     ```
       ul.menu li.current-menu-item a,
       ul.menu li.current-menu-item a:link,
       ul.menu li.current-menu-item a:visited {
         text-decoration: underline;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks!
