You can use background images for your menuitems

Example:

page.10 = HMENU

page.10.1 = GMENU

page.10.1.NO {

  wrap = | <BR>

  XY = [4.w], [4.h]

  backColor = olive

  4 = IMAGE

  4.file = fileadmin/tsbyex/menuback.gif

  10 = TEXT

  10.text.field = title

  10.offset = 0,14

  10.align = center

  10.niceText = 1

}

The image "menuback.gif" looks like this:
