Adding BG Color To #menu ul li

  • I’m trying to modify the following stylesheet:
    https://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/styles/sample.php?wpstyle=blorange
    I would like to add a background to the side menu list items and I want the background color to span the entire width of the side bar. Simply modifying #menu ul li isn’t enough but can someone suggest how I can make additional changes to get the result I want? I would like to include the links also so I would have to change some PHP for that since changing wp-layout would background color the entire list. I kind of imagine that someone has already wanted to do the same but several pages into a search yields nothing exactly like this.
    I did a span style in the index.php for demo purposes so that it would render similarly to how I would like it:

    Thanks

  • It is never necessary to start hacking at the php to affect a styling change.
    # menu is the best selector for this. For link styling Listamatic are the experts.
    For a WordPress implementation of Dan Cederholms faux columns, my Gemini template might demonstrate how it can be implemented.

    Incidentally on your demo those headings could be styled with #menu ul li
