Setting top nav background color doesn't work

[wiredin]

When i set a color for top nav background in the wordpress admin console nothing happens. I think this is a CSS issue. WordPress 3.4.2

Confirming this.

Potentially related/the cause: Top nav menu items mapped to blog categories fail to get the active class.

This may be the cause:

Choosing a Top nav background color in the admin interface attempts to override the .navbar-inner class with a background-color: property. But the theme's default property uses background-image: which cannot be overridden by background-color:

Having the new background color set as a background-image fixes the problem.

You could replace:

background-color: #2B3340;

with:

background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #2B3340, #2B3340);

I'm also noticing that choosing a gradient instead of color in the admin console also does not function properly.. it does not seem to make any changes to CSS.

Thanks for the code now the background and gradient is working properly
