Nothing much to it really.

Go to this page, download it and then study the source.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/examples/cssmenu.html

You'll see the css styles embedded in the head of the file. Look for the
section titled a: hover. Start playing around with the 'attributes'

border-color:gray;
background-color:#bbb7c7;
color:black;

Change them, save the file, observe what happens, etc. You'll get the idea
soon enough.

Can't go into everything about CSS but for simple stuff, it doesn't take
much to master. Start Googling for css tutorials if you want to get into the
real guts of it.
