# Customize sidebars

 * I know I’m posting something fairly elementary for a lot of you experts, and 
   I apologize for my newness to the WordPress world, but I haven’t had as much 
   experience as I’d like in it and am learning as I go. And I’m loving each new
   triumph, like finding this plug in and being able to do something I thought I’d
   have to hire out to do.
 * I have the sidebar working just great on my site, now I just want to stylize 
   it a bit more. My customer has a “thing” about sans serif fonts and I know right
   away she’ll want me to change the way the sidebar menu looks. Is it simple enough
   to tell me where I need to go to format the font, and is there any way to add
   some kind of break line in between the menu items? Again I apologize for asking,
   but I’ve seen replies to other posts here and everyone seems pretty cool about
   answering anything that comes in. Thank you!

 * Hi [@jenpena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenpena/),
 * Thanks for asking this and no worries, we indeed are happy to assist! 🙂
 * What you’re looking to do is actually related to styling in general. The theme
   you’re using would generally dictate the fonts in this case.
 * You can generally override theme styling though, easiest done using plugins like
   this:
    [http://wordpress.org/plugins/imporved-simpler-css/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/imporved-simpler-css/)
 * With that setup, you can add in styling like this:
 *     ```
       .widget, .widget-title {
       font-family: Sans-Serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should get the system’s standard sans-serif font used in widgets.
 * How would that work for you?
 * Cheers,
    David
