My fault, I guess i didn't explain my self properly, sorry for wasting your time....
what I was actually aiming for was a complete separation of the menu's so that they appear as individual rectangles and not just a line break between them.
That way the menus wont appear as two pillars but as little grey boxes with the black background between the boxes. Sorry, I have tried learning this stuff but my dyslexia makes it real tuff.
