 * hey hi thanks for theme. I came to know that this theme is based on bootstrap
   framework. So my question is how can I edit widget area. I want to create widget
   area with panel. like following
    <div class=”panel panel-default”> <div class
   =”panel-heading”> <h3 class=”panel-title”>Widget Name</h3> </div> <div class=”
   panel-body”> widget content </div> </div>

 * Not sure about this theme in particular but usually you can edit the widget function
   in functions.php. Best to create a child theme to do it and modify it there.
 * Something like this
 *     ```
       'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s panel panel-default">',
       		'after_widget'  => '</div></aside>',
       		'before_title'  => '<div class="panel-heading"><h4 class="widget-title panel-title">',
       		'after_title'   => '</h4></div><div class="panel-body">',
       	) );
       ```
   
 * You will need to remove the widget area then add it back in the child theme.

 * You can copy the function in your theme to add it back.
