   something like that? Thanks.

 * You can try:
 *     ```
       .cat-post-item:first-child {
          color: red;
       }
       ```
   
 * Otherwise please describe your aim in some more detail or leave us your Url.

 * Hello, thank you very much for the quick feedback.
    Unfortunately the theme does
   not allow the change completely. Only the color of the date entry changes.
 * My goal is actually to display two category posts in one widget.
    The first category
   post should only show the newest post + fas fa-bell. The second category post
   should show the other posts. **The background is that we want to highlight the
   latest post.**
 * Currently I have set 2 widgets for this. See picture
    But I want to take the 
   left one into the right widget.
 * I have also tried plugin like “amr shortcode”. But my theme doesn’t allow this
   in an optimal way.
 * Is there any way to solve the problem using the plugin’s own shortcode option?

 * I don’t understand why your Theme doesn’t allow changing CSS.
    It’s not possible
   to add CSS with the Customizer ([https://kometschuh.de/easily-adding-custom-css-using-the-wordpress-theme-customizer.html](https://kometschuh.de/easily-adding-custom-css-using-the-wordpress-theme-customizer.html))?
 * You can send us a Url at our support pages and I will give you exact CSS code:
   [http://tiptoppress.com/support/](http://tiptoppress.com/support/)
 * Otherwise, our pro version supports “alteration” pattern. You can set up, for
   example, the first post in your post list bigger as all other posts in your post
   list: [http://demo.tiptoppress.com/asymmetrical/](http://demo.tiptoppress.com/asymmetrical/)
   
   Please see also the description in our documentation: [http://tiptoppress.com/term-and-category-based-posts-widget/documentation-4-9/#Alterations](http://tiptoppress.com/term-and-category-based-posts-widget/documentation-4-9/#Alterations)
