How to change the color of the SVG when hovering over the image?-CodePudding

I have an image (with a link) and the YouTube logo in the center.

I will want the YouTube logo to be red when I hover the image.

Currently it is not working. I have to hover over the logo for the color to change, I want it to change as soon as I hover over the image.

Here is an example (hover over the video at the bottom of the page) :

Here is my code :

#youtube-remote,
#youtube-remote .youtube-remote-container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

#youtube-remote svg {
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color: #000000;
}

#youtube-remote svg:hover {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color: #ff0000;
}

CodePudding user response：

Just add the :hover pseudoclass onto the image instead of the svg. Also, you should use 'fill' instead of background-color for svgs to properly fill in only the path :)

If you want the middle triangle to be white permanently (like in the link's video), you'll need to add another path to the svg and fill that with white.

EDIT: added the center play button path (just copied the SVG from the referenced page its viewbox) and changed opacity when hovered.

#youtube-remote,
#youtube-remote .youtube-remote-container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

#youtube-remote svg {
    position: absolute;
    opacity: 0.8;
}

#youtube-remote:hover svg {
    opacity: 1;
}

#youtube-remote:hover .play-outer {
    fill: red;
}
