In changing the menu.tpl my goal was to make it look lke torn paper with blue writing on it. I thought the torn-edges would be the problem, but as it turns out it was changing the text colors.
Looking at menu.tpl it seems like VertMenuBoxNewsTitle would control it, but I can't find where to alter that. It definately doesn't show up in skin1.css, and even if I add it, it doesn't change anything. I have the feeling I'm making this more difficult than it is.
My question in brief is how do I change the various text colors that show up in the various menu boxes?
