Hi Joseph,
You’ll need to edit style.css in your wp-content/themes/eleven40 folder. The change the background of the entire widget section for all enews widgets, you’ll want to add:
.enews-widget {
background: blue;
}
Replace blue with whatever color (either by name http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#html4 or using the #CC5500 style hex value).
You’ll likely want to add padding or margin or things like that to make it look a little better, but that is beyond the scope of the support I’m able to provide. Folks in the StudioPress forums ( http://studiopress.com/forums ) may have more bandwidth to help with customization.
Thanks!
