Hi folks — I'm stumped by the #dddddd-colored bar to the left of menu 1 in my header. (See attached pic, or the site at http://test.clubbo.com/wp/)

I'd like this currently-gray area be the same as the background color specified in ATO/Menu 1 (page menu). Any idea why it isn't? FWIW, I have no background color specified in ATO/Style & Configure Layout.

Thanks in advance to any smart people who can help me out.

The background is set to transparent. Look in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts for div#menu1 ul.rMenu and delete the background line. You should then have a solid yellow background for the menu.

That did the trick. Thanks yet again for the speedy help!

Question, though: Why, if the background was set to transparent, would it display gray? What if, say, I wanted to see the #ffffff of the page?

I believe the gray color is set in one of the background color boxes in ATO>Style Menu

Yeah, that's what I would have expected. But the only field for entering colors on that page are for background, link, and hover states — the yellow and blacks you see in the screen shot. There's no gray specified anywhere here. Though it IS the same #dddddd I selected as my widget border. Weird.

Then it may be in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts
