In style.css, create a new rule that targets .star-bg. Add a 1s transition for the fill property.

Your selector should have the CSS property you want to add an effect to ex. fill/width/all

.start-bg{transition: fill .1s;}
.start-bg{transition: width .1s;}
.start-bg{transition: all .1s;}

to view a transition effect change the property you have specified.

.star-bg { transition: fill .1s; }
.star-bg:hover {fill: #000000;}

Did you try transition: fill 1s ease? You are using .1s, by the way.

Thanks for your reply Joao. But sadly that didn't work either.
