that seems to work...what about the text/link in the top right?

Figured it out myself.
commented out
/*background: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_background.backgroundColor};*/
under .toplinks ul.isuser li a:hover {
changed toplinks_linkhover_color under stylevar to my hover color as well as toplinks_link_color
also commented out background: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_background.backgroundColor} url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center;
that 'damages' the little arrow, but I honestly don't care about it as my header will be white

/*background: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_background.backgroundColor};*/

under .toplinks ul.nouser li a and the hover one

then change the color around the login box
comment out the one line and create your own line with your own color
/*background: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_background.backgroundColor};*/
background: #CCCCCC;
