 * First, thank you for an amazing theme, I love the options, and it looks great!
 * I was wondering if it was possible to add custom colors to the widget title background
   selection, or to the content background selection.
 * I imagine I could edit one of the php files to allow this?
 * This is pretty much my first time working with wordpress, but I should be able
   to figure out any necessary code if I know where to put it.
 * Thanks!
 * Andy

 * The blog theme, for Arclite. Sorry, should have been more clear.

 * Hi,
 * You should be able to change all the colours in the stylesheet. If you have a
   look in the theme directory you will see a file called style.css. In this file
   you will see elements that refer to colours, such as:
 * `color: #FFFFFF;`
 * If you find the hex colour code of the colour you would like to use you can replace
   them in the style sheet and your theme will change to match.
 * Regards

 * Hi There,
 * Would you happen to know where in the style sheet is the background color for
   the whole background of the theme (not sure if that makes sense). Basically, 
   instead of being white like it should be when using internet explorer the background
   behind the home page as well as any post on my blog is a dark brown instead of
   being white or clear. I am trying to check in my style sheet to see what it’s
   set at but I can’t figure out which setting for color in the style sheet it would.
 * My site is here: [http://www.valetreader.com](http://www.valetreader.com) where
   you can see what it is i’m talking about. hoping you or someone can help me!
