Recently changing style of breadcrumb elements so sharing our changes here in case it helps others.
Standard breadcrumb shows:

Want to change the style of the last element in the breadcrumb so it stands out as the current page (i.e. "you are here")

Code: Select all

/* Change style of last breadcrumb item */
.breadcrumb li:last-child a {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Breadcrumb now shows:

Could not find the breadcrumb separator defined in core so changed the style of the separator.

Code: Select all

/* Change style of breadcrumb separator */
.breadcrumb li.breadcrumb-item:not(:first-child)::before{
  content: ">" !important;
}

Alternatively, this does the same thing:

Code: Select all

/* Change style of breadcrumb separator */
.breadcrumb li.breadcrumb-item+li.breadcrumb-item::before{
  content: ">" !important;
}

Breadcrumb now shows:

The code should be added to /templates/override/static/user.css

Using more recent versions, there have been slight changes to the breadcrumb.
For example, on default 1.0.9.9, this is displayed:

So if the CSS in the previous post above does not produce the desired result, remove the a from the selector, like this:

Code: Select all

/* Change style of last breadcrumb item */
.breadcrumb li:last-child {
  font-weight: bold;
}

This targets the last list item in the breadcrumb (which has a bootstrap class attribute name) and gives this:

Slightly annoying that the separator has now also changed so to change that back again use:

Code: Select all

 /* Reset last breadcrumb item separator */
.breadcrumb li:last-child::before {
  font-weight: normal;
}

This targets the separator before the last breadcrumb item in the list (which is added by Bootstrap 5 as a ::before pseudo-element) which then gives this:

The new bootstrap5 also underlines links by default.
They could be removed everywhere in the shop but that might be undesirable but, personally, prefer the breadcrumb items without so using:

Code: Select all

/* Remove underline of breadcrumb links */
.breadcrumb a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

This targets the links (a elements) in the breadcrumb (which has a bootstrap class attribute name) to give this:

We were also asked to have the default blue link font color removed so, just add another declaration to the rule above:

Code: Select all

/* Remove underline and blue font color of breadcrumb links */
.breadcrumb a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: var(--bs-body-color);
}

This brings the font color back to the default font color used in the body on the shop to give this:

This is using the latest bootstrap5 template.
Note the use of a CSS variable as the Value for the color Property just as an example.
A CSS variable does not have to be used but Bootstrap 5 now uses them.
In Bootstrap 5, this variable is defined as:

Code: Select all

--bs-body-color: #212529;

So, once the variable is defined, if it is changed or overridden (for example, in user.css), the color will change everywhere that var(--bs-body-color) is used as a Value.
To achieve the same result, this could be used:

Code: Select all

/* Remove underline and blue font color of breadcrumb links */
.breadcrumb a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: inherit;
}

So, the font color is inherited from the font color used in the body on the shop.
