    is there a way to set a different bg color for the main menu than the header bg color?

    Hey!

    Try adding this code to the Quick CSS:

    .main_menu {
    background: red;
}

    Cheers!

    hah- like I said, it take a long time for css to take effect. now it’s red.
    however, now the bg of the main menu is red but not of the bg of the dropdown area

    I am looking for the opposite effect here- the bg of the main menu items same as the header, but the bg of the dropdown and megamenu areas different…

    using firebug I can’t seem to identify what class the bg of the menu areas is classed as, because it goes away as son as I take mouse away.

    also, when using your inbuilt header textures/ images, that image does not repeat down into the mega menu items… just FYI.

    using firebug I got it to change here, the a89b99 is something I typed in-

    but I don’t know how to pu this into the quick or style.csss….
    thx!

    .header_color .header_bg, .header_color .main_menu ul ul, .header_color .main_menu .menu ul li a, .header_color .pointer_arrow_wrap .pointer_arrow, .header_color .avia_mega_div {
    background-color: #A89B99;
    color: #544E34;
    }

    The difference is that it will updated quicker, to change the background in the sub menus:

    .main_menu, .sub-menu *, .sub-menu {
    background: red !important;
}

    Have you tried doing it via FTP (edit style.css) or Themes > Editor?

    I am trying to get the menu itself same as header, and bg of the dropdowns to be different.
    now, all menu is red- both the main links, and the mega menu items that open up

    I tried what seemed logical, removignthe main_menu, portion of your code, and putthis in the child style.css, but it’s still all red.

    gettign closer!
    .sub-menu *, .sub-menu {
    background: red !important;
    }

    I

    any ideas isolating just the mega menu background area?

    actually just noticed too, that made the bg of the other menu location up in the header red too, which I definitely do not want.

    I undid both the quick and the style.css, back to square 1

    Have you tried prefixing the .avia_mega_div class?

    .avia_mega_div .sub-menu *, .avia_mega_div .sub-menu {
background: red !important;
}

    That way it will only target mega menu elements.

    wait a minute
    I lost the mouseover effect now

    so the color that used to appear when cursor was on an avia sub. menu item is now lost

    I see why, try with this code instead:

    
/* Idle */
.avia_mega_div .sub-menu, .avia_mega_div .sub-menu a{
background: red !important;
}
/* Hover */
.avia_mega_div .sub-menu a:hover{
background: peru !important;
}

    Change as needed.
