 * Thank you for the builder and features. I added the Recent Posts Widget, and 
   it works, however, the links look fairly plain.
 * Is there a way to make that section look more lively?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustomizing-recent-posts-widget%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * The Recent Posts Widget is a WP widget, which the styling is affected by your
   theme.
    Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to style the links within Elementor’s
   editor.
 * You can try customizing this widget via CSS or your theme’s settings.
