# Styling widget block

 * I realize that the testimonials plug-in doesn’t include styling on purpose, but
   I am trying to figure out where to change the background color of the widget 
   block. It is currently black. Do I need to add new style tags to the widget and
   then edit the CSS file accordingly? Or does it already use existing style rules
   somewhere that can be edited? A nice addition to the plugin would be an easy 
   way to change simple setting like background color, font color, etc.
 * Thank you,
 * DebbyK

 * All styling should come from the theme. That is the purpose of a theme 🙂 You
   should be able to apply styling easily enough by targeting the `. widget_woothemes_testimonials`
   class.
 * So to change the background color of the entire widget you’d add
 *     ```
       .widget_woothemes_testimonials {
       background: red;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you. I did apply that code to the custom.css file but nothing changed. 
   I checked in a couple of different browsers. Should it go somewhere else? I’m
   fairly familiar with CSS. I guess what I am looking for are the specific locations
   to do the edits since there are so many files that are part of the plugin and
   WP.
