How to: Change the black bar under the header?

Unfortunatelly, the color of the menu bar background image (black image) is not changeable.
You need to do either
(1) Change color/base.png and change the black menu bar area to your favorite color/style.
or
(2) Replace the bg-menu.png with your own version of bg-menu.png

With (1), you can make the color of the menu bar background to be recolorable, but this is not a easy change.
(2) is more easy change but you need to do some work too. Everytime you do "Save settings" at the theme configuration page, you need to copy your bg-menu.png to proper directory created by the color module.

See the following article for more detail about "proper directory" and customizing recolorable theme.

I would like to remove the black bar under the header...

Is it possible?

I will be using the NICE MENUS module (for drop down secondary links...)

I tried to customize the menu bar with my own secondary links, but the black bar doesn't seems to be large enough (see print screen)

Do you know a way to fix that?

Thank you

As you see in the thread below, the theme is designed only with the Primary link menu in mind and did not designed for the secondary link.

I will look into this when I have time...

(2) Replace the bg-menu.png with your own version of bg-menu.png

I did just that and didn't work. I have changed it in both places (the generated files due to color change and in the main theme images folder) but still it is black. I even deleted every bg-menu.png image that exists and still getting the black color!

Where is this image referenced in the CSS. I searched all over in the styles.css file but couldn't find any style calling bg-menu.png!

Thanks for your help.
