ParticipantIt is possible - every widget is assigned a specific ID by WordPress which you can use in your CSS to customize that particular widget. Firebug will help you drill down to what that ID is.

MemberI am new to this so...  I am using the balance theme, I would like to customize the title in the text widget by altering the font and color. I can alter the font and color of the text in the text box but the not title. I can not find on the css editor the text widget. Any help, thanks.

Participantgatorman,
To help you we'll need a link to your site and specific details about which widget title you want to change and which changes to make.

MemberI got that resolved from help here in another thread. This is what I did.
.widget-area h4 {
color: #ff4040;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 15px;
padding: 0;
text-transform: capitalize;
}This forum is so great, especially for a newbie. I have learned a ton in a short period of time. I never even knew how to look and find the code for specfic elements on a page. Now I have seen how to do that and have identified several areas and tweaked them to my taste. Just great fun. The site is still a work in progress and the progress moves at the speed of a glacier but... http://www.belovedesigns.com
