I do it here:
http://www.sevenstring.org/
But only for the link cells right now, though I'm planning on getting to the top eventually.
FWIW, here's the code for one of my links:
<!-- Registry Link -->
<td background="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/images/navbar_backing.jpg"><a STYLE="text-decoration:none" href="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/guitar.php?do=main"><b><font size="1px" color="#FFCC00">Registry</font></b></a></td>
<!-- /Registry -->
The font size/color tag I use would be much better suited to a CSS span class, but I haven't had the time, and to be honest I still can't figure out what font size is generated by "size=1". The font on my navbar is a little bigger than 7px, a little smaller than 8px. It drives me insane.
(Would get into more detail, but no time right now.)
