 * Hi anyone know how to change the individual hover state of a menu item. I have
   a class added in the css classes pane called (custom-menu-item) on a individual
   menu item and that works fine but I want to change the hover color just on that
   menu item and not affect the others.
 * this the firebugged code:
 * .custom-menu-item #access li:hover > a,
    #access a:focus { background: white !
   important; color: #52B5E6 !important; }

    formatting cannot
   in most cases not be discussed without seeing the issue in a live site.

 * could be an issue with specificity;
 * try:
 * `#access li.target-menu a:hover { color: #000!important; }`
