Best way would be css since I don't know what your using though that might not work, you got a link to this menu?

Hi,
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...vertical-menu/
It uses two gif files, designed so that it has a really nice gradient effect.
Its in a nice blue, but my whole site uses a green #006666, and i want to change the blue to a green but keep the gradient effect.
A method of using CSS to do this dynamically would be amazing but totally and utterly out of my league!

Thanks

Pete

CSS cannot change the color of the images. I would edit the images in an image editor. I use PSP but Photoshop or The Gimp would do as well, possibly others. Whatever you use must have fairly robust color adjust features. Load the image up in the program and choose one of the color adjusting features. In PSP the most promising for this appears to be what they call the Hue Map. If you have something like that, move the two blue sliders up and adjust the lightness down. Play with it until you like what you see. Other programs will vary at least slightly in how this is done and perhaps even in what this feature is called.
