Parent current class

Hello, we use a parent menu item like a headline for the submenu. If a child item is selected, its class is changing. Is it possible, that the class of its parent item is also changing, so that we can set a different style for its current status?

Hi
each parent item gets the "active" class in the path to your current item
so you can use this css class

Oh I found the mistake in my module configuration. I had choose the wrong base item. Now I have my active class
Thank you!
