okay, do you need a navigation like this navigation on the following 
website:
http://www.bildungsberatung-berlin.de ?

every navigation item has it's own class and so every main navigation 
link is different (different background colors) and the sub navigation 
links have the same color of their parent link.

it works with an incremental number on each class (nav1, nav2, nav3, ... 
and subnav1, subnav2, subnav3 ...).

you can see the typoscript of this menu here:

lib.mainNav = HMENU
lib.mainNav {
	entryLevel = 1
      	1 = TMENU
	1 {
		wrap = <ul id="mainNav">|</ul>
		
		NO = 1
		NO {
			before.cObject=LOAD_REGISTER
			before.cObject{
				menuNumber.cObject=TEXT
				menuNumber.cObject{
					value={register:menuNumber}+1
					insertData=1
				}
				menuNumber.prioriCalc=intval
			}
			stdWrap.wrap = <span class="bar">&nbsp;</span><span class="text">|</span>
			ATagParams = class="nav{register:menuNumber}"			
			linkWrap = <li>|</li>
			allStdWrap.insertData=1
		}
		ACT < .NO
		ACT = 1
		ACT {
			linkWrap = <li class="active">|</li>
		}
		CUR < .ACT
		ACTIFSUB < .ACT
		ACTIFSUB.linkWrap = <li class="active sub">|
		CURIFSUB < .ACTIFSUB
		CURIFSUB.linkWrap = <li class="active sub">|
	}
	2 < .1
	2{
		wrap = <ul class="subNav">|</ul></li>
		NO {
			before.cObject.menuNumber.cObject.value={register:menuNumber}
			stdWrap.wrap = <span class="text">|<img 
src="fileadmin/templates/images/nav_blank.gif" width="17" height="17" 
class="nav_blank" /></span>
			ATagParams = class="subnav{register:menuNumber}"
		}
		ACT < .NO
		ACT = 1
		ACT {
			linkWrap = <li class="active">|</li>
		}
		CUR < .ACT
		ACTIFSUB < .ACT
		CURIFSUB < .ACTIFSUB
	}
}


maybe it's not optimized, but maybe it will help you anyway.

ps.: that's it for today - time to finish my work and to see the first 
game of the quarter-final: Portugal - Germany (I have to get a good 
place to see)
