Hi Joss,
To change the sidebar width we have done some changes to the theme and now you will have two new options in Theme options – Layout settings to set content width: “Main content width for one sidebar templates” and “Main content width for two sidebars templates”.
Until next update please get this archive and replace current theme files with the one included in the archive.
https://archived.seventhqueen.com/files/kleo/kleo-template-width.zip

To change the colors for the sidebar you need to add custom css in the file kleo-child/style.css or in admin – Theme options – Quick css for example:
COPY CODE
```
.sidebar {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #CCCCCC;
    color: #0000FF !important;
}
.sidebar a{
    color: #0000FF !important;
}
.widget-title {
    color: #FF0000 !important;
}
```

adding the CSS should work, just change the color codes to your desired ones

Hi, as you know if you change sidebar background apart from the rest of the layout you also need to change colors, backgrounds, lines, etc. on some elements to fit in the same color palette. I added these lines as an example of what you need, you can change hex colors as you need.
COPY CODE
```
.sidebar {
	background: #000;
}
.sidebar a {
    color: #777 !important;
}
.widget_search #searchform > div,
.sidebar select {
	border-color: #333 !important;
}

.sidebar .kleo-widget-recent-posts-li,
.sidebar .widget_categories li,
.sidebar .widget_recent_entries li,
.sidebar .widget_archive li,
.sidebar .widget_display_views li,
.sidebar .widget_recent_comments li,
.sidebar .widget_product_categories li,
.sidebar .widget_layered_nav li,
.sidebar .widget_nav_menu a,
.widget_tag_cloud a {
	border-color: #333 !important;
}
.sidebar .widget_nav_menu .current_page_item > a,
.widget_tag_cloud a {
	background-color: #272727 !important;
}

Robert

Hi,

I tried this and it still is not working.

Is there anyway I can give you our credentials and you can take a look?

This is for the Sweetdate theme as well. It isn’t for the Kleo theme.

PS: @robblundell in Sweetdate – Styling options you have the sidebar section where you can style it

Hi,

I have implemented this. Please see attached, and this has had no effect on my sidebar.

I also tried it as a class and id but it didn’t work either.

This is a KLEO topic but my code is for Sweetdate. Please create a new topic in Sweetdate theme. We will close this section. Also share a link to your site
