I am trying to recreate a simple design on my first DNN Skin.  I am using the SolPartMenu because frankly I'm a beginner using this document for reference: LinkClick.aspx (application/pdf Object)

First, if there is a newer skinning guide/documentation, please let me know.  Otherwise, I do not think I am getting the behavior I expect.  I was able to turn the menu from horizontal to vertical, but some of the other attributes do not work.  For instance, my skins.xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Objects>
    <Object>
        <Token>[SOLPARTMENU]</Token>
        <Settings>
            <Setting>
                <Name>forecolor</Name>
                <Value>white</Value>
            </Setting>
            <Setting>
                <Name>display</Name>
                <Value>vertical</Value>
            </Setting>
            <Setting>
                <Name>menuitemcssclass</Name>
                <Value>menu</Value>
            </Setting>
            <Setting>
                <Name>selectedcolor</Name>
                <Value>#506B70</Value>
            </Setting>
            <Setting>
                <Name>selectedforecolor</Name>
                <Value>#FFFFFF</Value>
            </Setting>
        </Settings>
    </Object>
</Objects>

Neither the selectedcolor or selectedforecolor have any effect on the skin.  It does render in the skin.ascx as by this line that is generated by parsing the skin package:

<dnn:SOLPARTMENU runat="server" id="dnnSOLPARTMENU" forecolor="white" display="vertical" menuitemcssclass="menu" selectedcolor="#506B70" selectedforecolor="#FFFFFF" />

However, neither the forecolor or backcolor of the selected menu item changes (they remain default values, THOUGH the non-selected forecolor is white as I specify in the CSS menu defined in the attribute above).  Am I missing something here?  Do I need to use pure CSS and disregard what the documentation says the attributes will do?
