The button images you’ll have to re-do them in Photoshop or something. The link colors can be changed in the stylesheet.
Go to Site > Site Templates, click the radio button next to rhuk_solarflare, and click ‘Edit CSS’.
You’ll see a section that looks like this:
a.mainlevel:link, a.mainlevel:visited {
display: block;
background: url(../images/menu_bg.png) no-repeat;
vertical-align: middle;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ccc;
text-align: left;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-left: 18px;
height: 20px !important;
height: 25px;
width: 100%;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.mainlevel:hover {
background-position: 0px -25px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
}
a.mainlevel#active_menu {
color:#fff;
font-weight: bold;
}
a.mainlevel#active_menu:hover {
color: #fff;
}
These are the style properties affecting that particular menu, if I remember correctly. You can either directly edit that template, make your own template, or download other templates (my favorite site is http://www.joomlaos.de it’s German but you can use Google translate; it’s got some fantastic templates). The background image for those buttons is located in [joomla root folder]/templates/ rhuk_solarflare_ii/images
Hope this helps.
