How to add button block in navigation block or background to navigation link?

[cawa-93]

Sorry for the stupid question, but I can't figure out how to insert a button-like link into a navigation-block. I want to insert a button-block into the navigation-block, or change the background/text colors for the navigation-link-block.

navigation-block don't propose add button-block inside. Also navigation-link-block have only typografy settings but not color settings.

I started a new theme. Here my theme.json

{
	"$schema": "https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/theme.json",
	"version": 2,
	"settings": {
		"appearanceTools": true,

		"layout": {
			"contentSize": "1214px"
		}

	}
}

What I'm doing wrong?🤔

I may be wrong, but this might not be possible without using custom css and custom class names on the blocks you want to style.

There's still quite a lot of development work to do in terms of enabling users to customize the navigation block's appearance.

That sounds sad. A button (actually a button-like link) in the navigation, this is an extremely common design pattern. When there is a menu like: home, prices, contacts and a highlighted "BUY" link.

This is not yet possible ; it has been requested in #46256 ; you can follow its progress in that issue.
