Hi @tanner13!
X Theme is a commercial theme, you’ll need to ask for support in their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.
If X Theme doesn’t include a way to make this change, you could use the Custom CSS module of the Jetpack plugin or use the Simple Custom CSS plugin (these are just two examples, you could also use a custom child theme, but if this is the only change you need to make, one of these is the simplest). Here’s an example using the Simple Custom CSS plugin:
1) Install and activate Simple Custom CSS (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
2) Under “Appearance” select “Custom CSS”
3) Paste in the following and click “Update Custom CSS” – this should make the background of the sidebar white, as well as round the corners (similar to the main content area) and add a little padding:
.x-sidebar {
background-color: #ffffff;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 10px;
}
Phil,
Thanks so much! You solved the issue.
Loving the forum and loving WordPress.
Best.
Tanner
