Fix Hover Over color on list group dark mode in bootstrap

How to fix the problem when switching to dark mode, the list group item text disappears when active.

Here is what it currently looks like.

To fix this we need to target the element and force the state to active or hover, in chrome press f12 and then use the selector to target the element.

to force a state on an element so we can change it, right click it in the console., and then go to force state, and select hover over. this will stick the element in hover over mode, like the mouse is over it or it being clicked.

now if you look at it it will be all white, which is what we need to fix.

this is the css culprit that is causing the text to be white.

so to fix we can either change the text to black or the hover over to a light gray rather than the white. the normal button hover over looks nice so ill use that.

copy these styles to our list element

so we end up with this

Now save the styles to your main css file, I usually add a theme.css file that loads the changes under the bootstrap.css so you can easily override existing styles, so just add all changes to this.

Reload and test and you should have something like this in your list group hover over.

All fixed, however. this also applies to the white or light version which is annoying, so may need to modify the darkmode switch to also add a tag to the body so that we can target if the site it in dark or light mode, as currently we cant target light or dark mode without changing the light or dark css.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
