 * I’m sure there is a better way to do this but this is what I found
 * Add your image under the class:
 * #menu-item-(*).grand a{
    background: url(images/arrow-right.png) no-repeat right
   center, -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a); /* must use background element*/}
 * The problem with this is that it will add the image to the entire sub list that
   is under that navigation item
    So we need to override that styling again with
   the original styling
 * #menu-item-(*).grand ul.sub-menu a{
    background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#
   252525, #0a0a0a); }
 * *the number of the navigation item you want to display the image on

 * BTW if you work properly there should be no problem editing the theme there was
   no reason to create a child theme.
    If you mess up so badly you can always download
   the theme again

 * thanks for the response but anything I do is overridden by
    #access ul ul a {
   background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#C5E4FF, #8DCAFF); background-image: -
   o-linear-gradient(#C5E4FF, #8DCAFF); background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,
   0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#C5E4FF), to(#8DCAFF)); /* older webkit syntax */ background-
   image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#C5E4FF, #8DCAFF); } If I was not clear I’d like
   to have different images next to different items on the navigation like an arrow
   to show that there is a dropdown or a video image next to the link to the video
   page
 * If I turn the above lines off I can see the image in its proper place but when
   background-image is on in access ul ul a it overrides my private class
