Forum Home Enhancements - [AJAX] SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block

Description:
SmnLikQuick v2.0 adds an advanced announcement block (Title and Content) to your vBulletin powered pages that is easily managed via AdminCP. This new version (based on the AJAX Tabs Content Script (v 2.0) written by Dynamic Drive), utilizes Ajax to display multiple announcements in one container when the title (tab) is clicked on. It also has the ability (and utilizes this ability upon install) to rotate between tabs (announcements) in a "slideshow" type manner until a user explicitly clicks on a tab (see screenshots provided).

See Post #02 for log.
See Post #98 for Upgrade Instructions.
See Post #99 for Multiple Styles Fix

Ive tried playing around with the css, but cant seem to locate the correct setting.

Without seeing your CSS file, I am going to suggest that you try adding a color element to either the .indentmenu class or the .indentmenu class

so if you are using the default CSS file that Bree provided, it would look like this..

.indentmenu{
font: bold 13px Arial;
width: 100%; 
}

change to

.indentmenu{
color: #000000;
font: bold 13px Arial;
width: 100%; 
}

OR

.indentmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
width: 100%;
border-top: 6px;
background: #869BBF url(/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */
}

change to

.indentmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
width: 100%;
border-top: 6px;
color: #000000;
background: #869BBF url(/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */
}

I have always loved this hack, but should be really great to edit the css to have that small white gap , that exist in the default navbar gradient tab....

AnyBody know what must i do to have the same great gap in this great hack too?

Thanks in advance

############Edit############

I have edited the smnlikquick tpl , the results seems pretty, but the ground is white , not grey like vb default.....
