that code is from our easter theme and is used to put a highlight with a black background with white text, do this in both the 1004 and 1009 styles files which for the most part are layed out almost identically and your ready to go.

danny and duck i hope that this helps you, im only assuming this is right based on the name listitem as it sounds like the right thing but to be 100% certain check with freak544 as he coded this element into several of our themes in our skin.
