[SOLVED] styling background in header widget areas
 

I made a new widget area in the header and put it below the logo and header image like this:

%logo %pages %image <?php bfa_widget_area('name=New widget area'); ?>

Is there a way I can put a background image behind this? Or just set a background color? It seems to be using the "body" style when I want the style to match the "center column" style. Yet there's no way to put a widget area in the center column.

Thanks!

You can put a widget area in the center column just add the code to ATO>Style & Edit CENTER COLUMN>Content ABOVE the LOOP.

Awesome! Thanks. That worked. Now is there a way to set left/right margins for a widget area? Or do I need to make a three-celled widget area and set the width of the left/right cells, leaving them empty?

You should be able to style the widget area with the following if you named it New widget area.
Etc. Etc.

So simple. So elegant. Thanks.

Oh, and I had to un-capitalize it to get it to work, like this....

#new_widget_area {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
}

Thanks again.

That makes sense... Glad it worked.
