is_category issue needs solving

I sure hope some more knowledgeable than I can solve this for me.
1. I downloaded a free Wordpress template from here:

2. I installed it successfully and followed the author's instructions on setting up the top main navigational system to appear like on his demo. Screen to his demo is here: http://oi56.tinypic.com/315mw08.jpg

3. My site's navigational system however currently appears as such: http://oi56.tinypic.com/hv6rfa.jpg

4. As per the author's instructions, I have the code set up in this fashion: <?php if (is_category(array(1,3,4,5,6,7))) { ?>
Each number represents a category ID number which I created yet it remains as such. I tried replacing the ID's with category name and slugs as I read in the codex to no avail. I'm obviously missing something here as several other sites have successfully got it to work. The author's advice to me was to "use custom menus" in WP. I'd rather learn what the issue is and how to resolve it.
