 * Hi Anders,
 * How do I style the hover state of the post comment button in Tove? I’m basically
   looking to override the theme styling for the button, which is currently causing
   it to go blank when on hover. the function still works, but I suspect it’s just
   styled to go white on hover, based on the theme colors I’ve chosen (which are
   currently in a delicate balance! haha).
 * I tried using the inspector to figure out what the correct class would be to 
   target the button on hover, but I can’t seem to get it right. I just want it 
   to stay its current color (black, foreground), but do the standard underline 
   on hover that Tove does to most links.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@hblecher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hblecher/),
 * Core has pretty strange hover styles for buttons currently – I think it’s something
   they’re working for for a future update. Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional
   CSS (the menu labels might be different in your language) and add the code below:
 * `.comment-respond #submit:hover { color: inherit !important; }`
 * Let me know if that does it.
