    Hello everyone, I was wondering what would be the best way to implement this css style in to my theme as this website has http://www.emilywhitedesigns.com/ If you can see they have a red widget section and a red arrow to divide the section.

    I know StudioPress used this method on their old website. Thanks so much for any help

    Hi Brad, Thanks so much I'll take a look now I should have known you wrote about this:)

    Brad can this be added to my home page widgets sections? It looks like it refers to post and pages.

    What class are you using Rob?

    The CSS code on my site generates exactly what you see in the screenshots.

    You need to replace .div with the class you want to add the down triangle after.

    In my case its

    .home-widgets-1:after {

    The class will vary for different themes.

    I also noticed your CSS code has errors and closing brackets in the middle of CSS rules.

    I think you'll find it may not work for you because of the errors.

    If you need help cleaning up your code, you can contact me.

    Well the arrow image is blue which you can easily change or change the hex color code in the CSS.

    Hello Rob

    As previously indicated, i did find CSS coding errors in your style sheet which i think needs cleaning up.

    I would also use the CSS version of the code which i tested on your site and know works perfectly as shown in the screenshot above.
