  Is it possible to add an image background or color that only appears on the margins to the left of the left sidebar and to the right of the right sidebar?

  Changing the entire background color makes the text difficult to read. I can’t figure out how to change that either. Text color. Plus, I like having the middle portion white.

  I have a free account. I didn’t know if there was a way to do this.

  Thanks.

  Howdy! This is possible, but you’d need the Custom Design upgrade with Custom CSS to apply a white background color to just the content area of your theme. If this is something you’re interested in, let me know and I can give you some code to add a white background to the content area.

  Thanks for the reply. I ended up changing the theme because I wasn’t happy with other things about oxygen. Thanks anyway.

  Here’s how you can change the entire main content area background color white for the Oxygen theme:

  .site-main {
  	background: #fff;
  }
