Changing current page text color & background height on menu, and header height

Hey there,

So I have a menu, I’m trying to make it so the menu button text of the current page you’re on is a different color.

I have a background color of the current/selected page but can’t figure out how to change the text color.

I must be overlooking something!

Any help on this? It’s driving me nuts!

Here’s what I have so far: https://subver.com/wp

I just got started, but the hover colors and everything are correct, I just want the current/selected page text color to be white.

While I’m at it, a couple more questions:

1) Is there a way to change the SIZE/HEIGHT of the blue box/background color on the menu buttons?

2) Can I change the header height?

3) I’d also love to add a border to the header, a 4px border, essentially just making a horizontal line underneath the header.

For reference, this is what I’m going for:

4) How would I go about adding that triangle/ticker to the selected page? Check out my reference design – I’m sure that will have to be a custom HTML/CSS thing but I really don’t know how to go about that quite yet. I’m no HTML/CSS expert!

Sorry for the long post and numerous questions, if anyone can answer ANY of these I would be very grateful!

Thanks everyone!
