First of all, I have no business probably even attempting this because I am an infrastructure / systems guy, not a web developer. I have a very basic joomla site set up about how I want the structure of it, and I have been able to get the drop down menus to work. What I cannot seem to do is figure out how to even start going about formatting the drop down menus to the same as the topmenu in the template was.

Currently I have them both turned on and you can see both at heminghous.com/joomla/ Can anyone point me to a total idiots guide on getting the formatting correct?

Hello,

Currently your site contains only "ARI YUI Menu" and doesn't contain default site template menu module. Check it please.

Yeah, I been hacking my way through the CSS and got it almost where I want it now. The only thing I have been having problems with is that no matter what I do, the menu labels themselves don't seem to change size (the text of the menus)? I can change the color just fine, but why do font size changes not affect it?

What font-size do you want to change? Font size of main menu items or sub-menu items? Currently main menu items and sub-menu items have different font size on your site.

I read through a bunch of other posts and figured out to put this in my CSS styles on the module parameters:
#{$id} ul ul li a
{
font-size: 15px !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}
#{$id} ul li a
{
font-size: 15px !important;
}

Now what I need to do is put some background back on the drop downs. For some reason when I edit the safe_menu.css and put it there, it only covers the first dropdown. One of my menus has 3 drop downs (single level just 3 down) and only that first one has a background on it!

All sub-menu items on your page have background:
