   Out of curiosity, I have been looking at the sidebar.php of my template (modern notepad):

   <div id="right-block">
       <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
           <div class="box categories">
           	<div class="header">
   	        	<h3><?php _e('Category:'); ?></h3>
   	        </div>
           	<ul>
           	    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&hierarchical=1'); ?>
           	</ul>
           </div>
          	...snipped...
   </div><!--#right-block-->

   I understand that dynamic_sidebar() renders the widgets; what is puzzling to me is how does dynamic_sidebar() knows what style to use? Each of the widget is using the .box class for each div.

   How does this happens?

   Stuff like that is defined in the theme's functions.php file, where it initially creates the sidebars.
