Background colors/images behind columns

Is it possible to include background images and/or colors for the columns (or perhaps other forms of styling)?

I’m thinking of something like this from a shortcode perspective (bolded). I have something similar to a button shortcode, but don’t want to break your column codes (which are great, btw). The bolded styling is using css to color the background.
```
[one_third <strong>bgcolor="red"</strong>]
content
[/one_third]
```
Thanks!

I am trying to avoid the use of seperate styling attributes inside the shortcode. I think it’s best to leave styling to your CSS stylesheet. I might consider adding custom classes to the column shortcodes, but I don’t want to get an over complicated UI with lots of attributes ( like bgcolor, strong, italic etc. )

Perhaps something like this:
```
[one_third class="red"][/one_third]
```
Then al you would need to do is add the background styling to your stylesheet.
```
.red {
background-color: red;
}
```

Another question related to styling: I’ve tried using the background classes for the columns. It works well for most, but the shortcodes with the “_last” doesn’t work… Any idea why it doesn’t? I’m searching as well, but thought I would ask in the process.

Do you have an URL for me where I can take a look at?

Tobias,
I am having the same issue with a test site that I am working on. I created custom css to control the margins, color, etc and they work great, except on the shortcodes with “_last”.

My test site is http://auburnillinois.us/testing/wordpress/

Any help would be appreciated!

I did get the class to apply to the shortcodes with “_last”. I just deleted the shortcode and started over and they seem to work.
