Customizing Modern Brick Horizontal menu

[ugazo]

Hi: I'm using this CSS horizontal menu in one of my Typepad blogs

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...n-bricks-menu/

My blog is http://abrake.typepad.com/abrake/

I have eliminate the find button and the search box. I have 2 questions.

1. How can i make that the buttons change to orange when i move to the different sections. Actually the orange version is set in the third position.
2. I want to aggregate black colour badges in both sides of the menu. I want it to look like a black banner from side to side.

By the way, I´m not an expert in CSS. I need a dummy explanation.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I can only answer question # 1. You have to change the part where it says:

#modernbricksmenu a:hover{
background-color: gray; /*Menu hover bgcolor*/
}

FOR

#modernbricksmenu a:hover{
background-color: orange; /*Menu hover bgcolor*/
}
