Opaque background on main menu item?

Hi all,

My first post

I have a vertical menu that I've pinned to a table cell. It is currently transparent, so the background image in the table cell shows through the menu items.

I use blank transparent headers to space out the menu items nicely, but what I'd like to do is put an opaque background behind some of the menu items, so that the text is clearer to read, but you can still see the table cell background through the pannel. (Also, ideally, I don't really want my text itself becoming opaque!)

Am I asking too much? My alternative is to put my opaque pannels on the table background image itself, but that's a messy way to go.

Any help much appreciated.
