I agree that it should have the desired effect. I know the CSS is working properly to load those items as I'm able to modify...
...the background image
...the height
...the cursor
Here is the actual code I have in the skin-aqua.css file
div.dynarch-horiz-menu table tr td.hover { background: url("img/aqua/hover-bg.png"); cursor:hand; color: #fff; }

I also tried changing the skin-aqua.css file as it exists in the examples included in the install, just to make sure I hadn't misloaded something on my page. Unfortunately the same results are reached. No matter what skin css I modify, aqua, windows xp, windows 98, I am unable to change the text color on hover of the horizontal items. I have not tried them all but am assuming its the same on all skins.

Thanks,

One more note....I am using the menu with the "click" option, not electric.

Ok, finally got around to looking at this again in more detail. Turns out that the skin-aqua.css file is missing one line that some of the others has, once it was added, I was able to change the hover color of my menu.

div.dynarch-horiz-menu table tr td.hover table { color: #fff; }
