If you mean the graduated background to the menu - that is done by applying a background image in the CSS settings.

graduated part. Where is that located in that actions palate?

You could make it easily in FW.

Draw a graphic box slightly taller than your menu and approx 10px wide.

Apply the Fill Master action Item>Actions>Fill Master

Adjust the settings in the action inspector to get the look you want.

Once you have it looking the way you want (Rectangle, linear blend, 90deg etc) then with it selected File>Export to your Media folder (png or jpeg is good).

You can then use the exported image as the background to your menu.
