    This is easily diagnosed using the add-on Firebug for Firefox

    Ok let's see if we can change it for you...
    1. Download and install FireFox (if you don't have it already)
    2. Install Firebug (an add on for FireFox)
    3. Go to your site in FireFox, under Tools, start Firebug and Viola!
    you can play with your css to your hearts content. In Firebug, you can select your css, then select the

    element you want to change, and edit. Changes will be shown in real time without actually modifing the css, so

    you can see if your changes give you the desired effect. Once satisfied, go to your real stylesheet and comit

    the changes.

    You can find FireFox and Firebug here. www.mozilla.com/firefox

    So if you use Firefox Browser with the Firebug plugin, you will be able to do offline analysis of your page -

    including revealing and editing of styles.
    When i click on view source I see the following two stylesheet.css being called within your site
    includes/templates/orange/css/stylesheet.css
    includes/templates/orange/css/stylesheetok.css

    When I use firebug on your page, I see:

    includes/templates/orange/css/stylesheetok.css
    #navMainWrapper {color:#41A317;
    margin:0 0 3px;
    width:100%;
    }

    1. Change color:#41A317;
    2. to this:
    3. background-color:#41A317;
    includes/templates/orange/css/stylesheetok.css

    #catBoxDivider {
    border-bottom:2px solid #FFB761;
    }

    1. change #FFB761
    2. To whatever color you would like


    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.singleBoxHeading {
    background:url("../images/sklep_4.gif") repeat-x scroll left top #FF660C;
    border:1px solid #FFFFFF;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    font-family:Trebuchet MS;
    font-size:13px;
    font-weight:bold;
    }

    1. Change this:
    2. background:url("../images/sklep_4.gif") repeat-x scroll left top #FF660C;
    3. To this:
    4. /*
      background:url("../images/sklep_4.gif") repeat-x scroll left top #FF660C;*/
    5. What these brackets do is comment out the code so if you ever need to use it again, just take out the brackets
