Change a background color

I have some additional information and additional questions. To start with, here’s the short code

[testimonials_cycle random=”true” count=’5′ width=’100%’ show_title=’1′ theme=’elegant_style-slate’ show_thumbs=’1′ show_rating=’stars’ transition=’fade’ timer=’5000′ pager=’1′ pause_on_hover=’1′ auto_height=’calc’]

I was able to get close to what I wanted by adding this css to the custom css box:

div.testimonial_body{ background-color: #99cccc !important; }

However, this only changes the color of the box behind the words of the testimonial. I was originally inquiring if the “slate” part of the theme can be changed to #99ccc? If it can’t, it’s fine. Right now it’s looks good on my site.

Additional quetions

• Is there any way for a user to submit an avatar if they don’t have a Gravatar?
• Everything in the shortcode listed above works correctly except for “show_title=’1′”. Do the themes override the selections made in the shortcode generator? Can I get the titles to display in some way?

Thanks for your time!
