Sidebar menu widget - custom styling for current (active) menu item

Dear Aigars,

I am not sure if this is possible or not but asking anyway.

I have used a menu widget on the sidebar. Is it possible to have the page highlighted when it is actually on it? Currently it is all in the default gray and (for example) when it is on the FAQ page, I would like ‘FAQ’ to change to red.

Hope you know what I mean!
Many thanks again,
Ed

Actually it can be done as WordPress Custom Menu functionality does set .current-menu-item class for menu items that are opened. The basic styling for those items would be like this:

#secondary .current-menu-item a {
    color: #f00;
    background: #ff0;
}

This code will change active menu item in sidebar Custom Menu to red and background to yellow. This is just an example and you can tweak this code from there.

You can use this code via Appearance >> Theme Options >> Other >> Custom CSS.

Let me know if you need any further assistance.
