Manafucturers Sidebox dropdown colours

[casper-fly]

I currently building a site, and while these forums have been great at helping with many other problems, I can't find a solution to this seemingly very simple one.

I can't seem to find out how change either the text colour or background colour in the manafucturers sidebox dropdown menu. I searched for a long while to find a solution with no success, so any help would be appreciated.

The site I am building is at http://www.woolbasket.co.uk/zen-cart/

Check the file manufacturers_select.php in
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes

The only tpl_manufacturers_select.php I have is situated at

/public_html/zen-cart/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes

I've played around with it but I don't know where or what code to change the background/ text colour.

This is the contents of the file:

$content = "";
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';
$content.= zen_draw_form('manufacturers_form', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', $request_type, false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT);
$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_sidebox_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;background: #6b8627;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= '</form>';
$content .= '</div>';
?>

You are using estorenow template, check in the folder sideboxes of that template.

If you want to change it with the default one, copy tpl_manufacturers_select.php and put it in the sideboxes folder of the estorenow template, and edit the red part of the code for your color

$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturer_sidebox_array, (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 90%; margin: auto;background: #6b8627;"') . zen_hide_session_id();

I don't have a tpl_manufacturers_select.php in estorenow sidebox folder (even did a search using the developers toolkit to be sure). Would it be fine to just copy the default one in?

Update: I tried that and still no luck.

also I have noticed that I was the one to place "background: #6b8627;" there, in the hope that it would work. Unfortunatly it didn't.
