I think no one has ever asked this question before. I set my left and right sidebars in different background color. I would like to have my widgets in the left sidebar to have background color matching that of the left sidebar, and the same for the widgets in the right sidebar. Nevertheless, I couldn't get this to work. Would anyone have an idea to help me out?

I'm grateful to your help!

P.S. I couldn't get my paypal account working. As soon as I got it done, I'll make a donation.

you just need to be specific in the css selectors by adding 'td#left' and 'td#right'. For example. if you put the 'Category' widget in teh LEFT and athe RIGHT sidebars, you could use something like this

td#left .widget_categories {background: #red;}
td#right .widget_categories {background: #green; }

Hi Juggledad,

Thank you so much! I'll try this out. Would this work for 3rd-party widgets as well?

Best Regards!

Great, it worked on 3rd-party widgets as well. Thanks so much!

My papal account is awaiting bank account confirmation. It takes time. As soon as it's done, I'll make my donation.

Thanks again!
