i think you need to pay for it if you want to change the css of the particular theme. The good news is you can add colors and background to your sidebar. But only to the “text” widget in which you could add a code to it. Now go to design >> widget and add a text widget. You can can add the code like:
```
<div style="background: silver; color: black;">
input all your text here in between the div tags.
</div>
```
you could check out my site for an example.

Yeah, that does not apply to someone with the CSS upgrade. Sorry, I can’t help but I do know there are several threads on customizing that theme in the forums, so try a search.

well if you are good in coding then i would prefer you give a slight modification in your theme’s css file.
you can access your theme file through some ftp clients and then edit the .css file.
if u have anymore doubts post it in the below site

Hi cpblakej1997

you will need to add the following code to your CSS Stylesheet Editor box :

#sidebar {
background-color:yourcolor;
}

replacing yourcolor with the code for your desired background colour.

If you don’t know the code for the colour you want to use, this site is really useful :

Just wanted to clarify that you must use the # part of the color code.

Eg if you wanted your sidebar background to be pink (color code #ff0099) the the CSS code would be :

#sidebar {
background-color:#ff0099;
}

Hope this helps,

Dave

Could you be more specific?

Did it not work at all? I know the code is correct as I tested it on my own blog before I posted this reply.

I’ve looked at the theme you referred to and it appears that the sidebar has boxes with a separate background colour is it this colour you are trying to change?

If so you need to find the tag that refers to the style of the box. I can’t get the URL for ‘Silver Is The New Black’ without applying it to my blog (which I don’t want to do). If you could get me the URL for the theme from your CSS Editor page I will have a look at it for you.
