Description

The links in the navigation do not follow conventions for action links. These should have a hover state similar to the navigation bar in MFEs which underline when hovered over.

Research direction

Start by reading lms/templates/header/navbar-not-authenticated.html around line 42, then compare the MFE navigation's hover behavior. The work is done when the Explore Courses navigation link follows the same convention and visibly underlines on hover.
