After discussing the problem, this is the solution you are looking for.
Tested under mozilla,ie,opera,netscape.
function init()
{
//Main Menu items:
menus[0] = new menu(22, "horizontal", 160, 10, -2, -2, "#CACAFF", "#0000A0", "Verdana,Helvetica", 9,
"bold", "bold", "Colour for whole level", "white", 1, "gray", 2, "rollover:images/tri-down1.gif:images/tri-down2.gif", false, true, true, true, 12, true, 4, 4, "black");
menus[0].addItem("http://www.dynamicdrive.com", "", 100, "center", "<font color='whatever'>Home</font>", 0);
This customization works for colouring every single menu entry.
Hope this helps,
