olafsO	Also another thing - despite I am modifying colours, changes do not appear on the site. For example - the link to Active Language should be darker.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Since your language switcher was added in the Elementor template, the changes you make in WPML → Languages will not have any effect. You will need to edit the Elementor template where the language was added and style it from there. I am attaching the screenshot for you to review.

olafsO	Yep. Unfortunately there is no "Active" option, just Normal and Hover, which ain't cool. Any workarounds?

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Only using custom CSS. For example: .wpml-elementor-ls .wpml-ls li.wpml-ls-current-language { background-color: #848484; } You can add in WPML → Languages → Language switcher options → Additional CSS.
