  I like the Matala with the sidebar but I want to have my background pic show through the text of my posts. Instead of a white page on my posts, can I make it transparent and change the text to white so it will show against the background image? Also, can I change the size of the font on my right sidebar? They seem to come out in various sizes. Thanks!

  To remove the background from your posts, you can add this to the CSS editor in the Customizer:

  #primary { background: transparent; }

  To change the text color to white, use this snippet:

  .entry-content p { color: white; }

  I see that you’ve used the tools in the post editor to set the text color to gray. Before the above snippet will work, you’ll need to remove that text color choice in each post. You can do so by opening each post in the editor, highlighting the post content, then clicking the on the text color button highlighted in red in this screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/1U3Q1w2q1o1j.

  As you’ll notice, when you remove the background color from the posts, all of the text becomes difficult to read. You’ll probably want to set new colors for the titles and reply prompt. The following snippet will set those to white, though you can choose a different color by replacing white with your desired color:

  .post-title, .page-title, #reply-title, #supplementary .rsswidget { color: white; }
