Ron, I've made a bit of headway thanks to Firebug (recommended by Joel, thank you).
You need to turn off the initial list-style call in the first 5 lines of code in superfish.css. The browser sees that and ignores all else after it. Like this: /*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/ .sf-menu, .sf-menu * { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* list-style: none; */ That did it for me. Of course you need to add a background tag as mentioned previously.
