Hi,

Background color for sidebars can be added with css code in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/wuQhpYgb

For example post’s sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/akrSX4QtD3

.td-post-sidebar{
background: aliceblue !important;
}

Thanks!

Perfect, that did the trick.

Sorry to further bug you. How do I add some space in all corners between the background and the actual sidebar. Right now the background covers the entire sidebar, and it does not look nice !

Thank you.

I just noticed that with your css add on it displays the sidebar only on posts. How do I have to modify it to show the background also on PAGES ??? Right now it doesn’t.

Thank you !

Hi,

1. You can try to add some padding, but the grid was not designed for this and some elements may not be displayed properly: http://screencast.com/t/OUUOFmcyQT4Y

.td-post-sidebar{
padding: 25px;
}

2. It is more difficult to target sidebar for pages, please try this css and see how it goes: http://screencast.com/t/ERH4XUQG

.td-page-wrap .td-grid-wrap .span4{
background-color: red;
}

Please provide your site URL if this doesn’t work.

Thanks!
