Thanks in advance for your help.

Use a grey background similar to the one on that site, a transparent background branding image (logo) and increase the font size using CSS for the menu. Use Firebug ( ) with Firefox to identify your CSS elements to change.
That will do it. Shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes, including creating your menu.

For anyone else reading this and needing to do the same hover technique here is the code adjustment I made (for better or for worse):
