I figured it out! Wasn’t too hard after all. Just had to play around with the widget title a bit, but the position:relative came in handy for that. Just tweaked some padding, margins and the colors and it all worked out so well.
Thanks!
I did go to the theme developer and was lead here. There wasn’t much they suggested they could do.
To answer your question martcol here is the original link where I found the idea.
Definitely just trying to play around with different ideas and techniques but realize that it’s not that easy but I will try your suggestion of making the containing dv position:relative and making the title position:aboslute and reduce the padding. Not too concerned if it breaks on mobile at this point but more just after the chase of seeing if it can work and how. Thanks for the suggestion!
