   I've added the "recent posts" widget, but I was hoping to customize the look surrounding it, but I have no idea where that kind of stuff is located.

   I'm sure it's possible, and I don't think every theme I've seen uses the same style for each widget, but I can't seem to find out which file contains the code I need to edit.

   I use this widget on my site too. Depending on what you need to do, There are two places that you modify code to customize the widget:

   1. Your theme's 'style.css' file
   The following id and classes are applied to the <li> tag that wraps around the widget.
   

   #recent-posts
       .widget
       .widget_recent_entries

   2. Wordpress Core
   I believe that the core Wordpress function that generates the html can be found here:

   /wp-includes/widgets.php -> line 806
