custom navigation

[shocktone]

Hi again,

I would like to use different background colours in the left nav bar.
For example the top link background should be white the 2second one grey than white, grey, white, grey. And so on.
Of course I could use a background image. But if I use dropdown menus this wouldnt work. Should I make different templates with different backgrounds ? Or is there a smarter solution?

Greetings Jens.
