Hey all
Would someone be so kind as to explain how to change the backround color of a widget?

Thank you kindly

You would do that in ATO>Style Widgets with code like the following.

background: #eeeeee;

Thank you. What do you mean by ATO style widgets?

ATO=Atahualpa Theme Options and Style Widgets is the section in the theme options.

I went in to that section and did that but it didn't fill up the entire widget box as there is still some white space showing around the edges of the widget. Any suggestions?

what area of that set of options did you put it in?
What else was there?
What version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is your URL?

Thank you, I already figured it out
