Customising the background color of active dropdown menue elements

[Babiel GmbH]

We like to customise the the background color of active dropdown menue elementes (please see attached screen). In older JIRA version we can do it like this...

to customise the the background color of active dropdown menue elements please change the following data:

jira@xxxx:~/bin$ vim /opt/jira/atlassian-jira/includes/ajs/layer/layer-min.css
jira@xxxx:~/bin$ vim /opt/jira/atlassian-jira/includes/ajs/layer/layer.css

within the selectors .aui-list li.active a the color must be changed from #003366 to #93117e 

After updating to the new JIRA version (5.2.2) it is no longer possible to change the color like this.

We tried to change it by editing...

<jira-home>/atlassian-jira/includes/ajs/layer/layer.less

.aui-list li.active a {background-color:#93117e;color:#fff;}

...but it dosent work, because we are not able to find the selector or the definition of the selector.

Could you please tell us how to change the color?
