Also bold the font text when typing in the Comments Box.

Hi there, the following would make the text typed into the comment box bold.
```
#respond #comment-form-comment textarea, #comment-form-share-text-padder textarea {
    font-weight: bold;
}
```
On the color change, which text are you wanting to change to black? I notice you have set body to a black text color. Is that what you wanted to change?

Thanks!
You helped with the comments question and I figured out the body text. One final question. The 'Blogroll widget/Sidebar' has a background shade I would like remove.

This CSS will remove the background color of the links in the Blogroll widget.
```
.widget_links ul li a {
background: none;
}
```
OR

You can append the above selector to your existing rule that is setting the background of Recent Posts widget to
```
.widget_recent_entries ul li a, .widget_links ul li a{
background-color:#fff7f7;
padding:0;
}
```

Thanks chaitanyams but should the change not remove the shade from all the other widget links I drag to the sidebar? For example I dragged the 'Top Clicks' widget and the shading is there as well.

It won;t because we are using widget specific selectors.
.widget_recent_entries = Recent Posts
.widget_links = Blogroll

etc.

You can use the generic widget class selector .widget and try the following (remove the above widget specific selectors first):
```
.widget ul li a {
background: none;
}
```

Hi, quick question for you. I have selected #f4a489 to be the blog background colour but when I save it does not change. It remains as white.

I think you are changing the color in the Color menu in the Customizer?

Not sure what’s happening but I see the following style on your site for the background.
```
body.custom-background.custom-colors, body.custom-background.custom-colors #wrapper {
background-color: transparent;
}
```

I am changing it from Appearance – background

I cannot access Appearance – background screen unless I purchase the theme.

I suggest you try the following CSS and see what happens:
```
body.custom-background.custom-colors, body.custom-background.custom-colors #wrapper {
background-color: #f4a489;
}
```

I had to clear the background in Appearance Menu. It seems as though selecting the background in Appearance and using CSS editor creates a conflict. I am learning :-) thanks t you.

Hope you are enjoying the season. I have been researching two things; hope you can help.
1. How to remover display only the image and topic in the Slider
2. Change the comment box background colour.

Hope you too are having a great time.

1. I did not quite understand your question. Could you elaborate a bit?

```
div#comment-form-comment {
background: green;
}
```
