I have “simpla” template and figured how to add a custom header and changed a little font color etc. I noticed that somewhere along the line, the tiny icons for “posted by” and “comments” are not showing up and there’s an empty spot where it’s supposed to go. It’s really bothering me. How can I fix it?

While I’m asking, how can I change (add) the background color of a text widget? I could figure out almost everthing else like adding a border around the widget and text color, but not background color.

First question:

Locate this in your custom stylesheet:
```
.postedby {
	background:#fff url('./images/user.gif') no-repeat;
	padding:3px 3px 3px 20px;
}

.filedto {
	background:#fff url('./images/post.gif') no-repeat;
	padding:3px 3px 3px 20px;
}

.commentslink {
	background:#fff url('./images/packaged.gif') no-repeat;
	padding:3px 3px 3px 20px;
}
```
Remove the background:; lines completely. What went wrong: You copied them from the original style sheet and now they override the original setting.

Widget backgrounds:

li.widget {background:your-color;}
