title: Is there a way to make the ":hover" background color wider?
body: <p>I'm trying to build a header for my website and it's pretty much finished but I want to make a hover effect and change the background color. However it looks pretty ugly. I want to be able to make the hover background color wider, is there a way to do it?</p>
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.header {
    background-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    width: 100%;
    height: 3rem;
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 1;
  }
  
  .header-lines {
    color: #fff;
    font-family: "Noto Sans Display", sans-serif;
    font-style: none;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
  
  .header-list {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: flex-start;
    line-height: 50px;
  }
  
  .header-item {
    margin-left: 2rem;
    font-style: none;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #fff;
  }
  
  .header-item:hover {
    background-color: rgb(24, 24, 24);
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="header"&gt;
