Highlighted "Menu trails" for parent(s) of current item?

Thanks for the great module! Just replaced our Primary Menu with Nice Menu, it improved navigation a lot. I was even able to style the CSS to suit our theme very nicely: http://atma.syn8.com

However, one desired feature got lost in the process: we had Menu Trails set up (http://drupal.org/project/menutrails), which provided a reasonable way to keep primary and secondary menu items highlighted to show the current context (note it's still working on the submenu).

It would be nice to support the Menu Trails module somehow, but it might make more sense to add a "Highlight parent menus" option inside Nice Menus. Does this seem feasible?

I'm new to Drupal's module coding, but can do basic PHP. If it's not too complex, if you point me in the right direction maybe I could help create a code snippet/eventual patch for this?
Thanks again!
