    Hey,

    go to Customizer > Custom > CSS and add following:

    .x-sidebar { background: #222; }

    and replace the hex code with yours.

    Thank you very much for that, is there any way I could change the color of the widget header text color without changing all the header text items on the page.

    Regards

    Please use

    .h-widget {
      color: red;
    }
    

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    So I am trying to insert a Background to a widgitized sidebar, by inserting this code under CSS in the custom section of the customizer, whithout it reflecting any changes.
    .x-sidebar { background:url(“http://campeurope.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sidebar_background-e1456157893129.png”) }

    Please advice on how to achieve this.

    Thank you kindly.

    Ok, so I managed to insert the background by>
    .widget {background:url(“http://campeurope.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sidebar_background-e1456157893129.png”)repeat scroll}

    However, each item on the sidebar has a black background that does not allow the background to show.

    How do I get to make these sidebar items to have a transparent background, in order for them to be displayed over the background picture?

    Thank you kindly for your prompt response.

    Greetings

    Hi there,

    Thanks for updating the thread! You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer or in your child theme’s style.css file.

    .widget ul, .widget ol {
        background: transparent;
    }
    
    .widget_text {
        margin-top: 0!important;
    }

    Regarding footer and header image. Would you mind giving us an example of what you mean so we can better understand and advise you. Thanks!

    Yes, Thank you.

    I am trying to establish a sidebar that looks like the one on this site>

    http://campeurope.ca/placements/camp-counselor/application-process-for-non-europeans/

    which is basically broken into 3 sections> Header, center and footer of the sidebar.
    I want to achieve the same, using the widget sidebar in X theme.

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    Upon checking your site, I noticed you’re not referring to sidebar. it’s a column.

    Please try this:

    .x-widget-area {
        background: url("http://campeurope.ca/wp-content/themes/cassiopeia/images/body-menu.png") repeat-y;
        width: 370px;
        height: 200px;
    }

    Please remove image element and add background:url("http://campeurope.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/header-menu.png") no-repeat; in style field of column.

    Add a text element just after widget element and insert <div class="footer_sidebar"></div> in text element Then add following CSS:

    .footer_sidebar {
        background-image: url("http://campeurope.ca/wp-content/themes/cassiopeia/images/footer-menu.png");
        height: 146px;
        width: 317px;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }

    Hope it helps.
