1st Level Menu Item Background

[mdpais-c]

I seem to be unable to change the background colour of the 1st Level Menu Item in the Top Navigation Skin. I've changed the background of the 1st Level under Top Navigation Menu and 1st Level under Top Navigation Menu Item (hover), but the 1st Level (also the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Level) under Top Navigation Menu Item seems to be missing the Background property. I need the background colour behind Basic Steps and What's New to be grey instead of blue (see screenshot).

Don't know if it'll help in this circumstance, but you might want to inspect the built output to see if there are other styles being applied from your main stylesheet. I'm just thinking aloud here, but is that colour mentioned in your stylesheet? Could that be taking over from what you've got in the skin?
