  I have already read (many times) the article about the Blix theme quirks. However, I’d still like to know if it is somehow possible to edit Blix’s true CSS file. The CSS shown on WordPress.com is basically a redirect to two other CSS files. Because of this, there’s no real way to edit the Blix theme. I just wanted to add a single line of CSS so that sidebar icons would show for all the widgets.

  If you have the CSS upgrade, you can put in your CSS changes that will over ride the original and it works.

  Hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it.

  Hmmm, I did this with the the two files of CSS from an updated Blix with widgets theme, but bullet points show up instead of icons for the sidebar lists. Is it even possible to give widgets a generic icon in Blix? This is the code I used:
  #subcontent ul.pages li, #subcontent ul li {list-style-image:url(images/spring_flavour/post_yellow.gif);} /* Generic for widgets */

  #subcontent ul.widget {background:url(images/spring_flavour/corner_bottom_right.gif) bottom right no-repeat;}

  Making changes to external versions of Blix won’t be relevant to the internal version. Try out your changes on the CSS page here; even if you haven’t got the CSS upgrade, you should be able to determine what works and what doesn’t.
