Oh. I misunderstood you. If you want to get rid of the white background altogether you need to go to the area in the CSS that Carasmo above pointed you to.

.image-section . widget
backround-color: #FFF; NOTE: I have found that all you have to do is remove the semi-colon and the action will be incomplete (that way later if you decide to change your mind, you don't have to look for or find what code was there before).

Then you'll need to also change
.image-section widget-wrap
border: 1px solid #000; Again, just remove the semi-colon

BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM: It's going to make these changes for ALL of your widgets that call up the white background. If that's what you want then, np.

Your pictures are busy though, so you are going to have to increase the font size and change the font color to make it easy to read. As you can see in the pic, it's not easy to read as it stands.

You should download the free Firefox add-on, Firebug because it lets you highlight the area you want to change, tells you where in the css it's located, and lets you play with changes before you make them in the editor. That's how I was able to remove the background & border from the pic above on your webpage. Firebug makes changes much easier and less time consuming.

Hope this helps,

Hey Mike,

That's also equally easy. Just go back into the widget area, scroll down on the left hand side, grab the text widget, put it in the same widget box you removed the demo text in and type in your text. In sections 3 & 5 it'll show up with the white background tag and in sections 2 & 4, it'll show up without the white background. These are just customizations, no code needed.

It's listed in the theme setup instructions. http://my.studiopress.com/setup/cafe-pro-theme/home-page-setup/home-page-layout/

You know you can can also change those big pictures in less than 1 minute to something that is particular to your site, right?

Hi Mike,

Did you figure this out? You don't actually have to go into the code. All you have to do is replace those blocks with your own content. If you don't have anything in the widget area it automatically pulls content from either your blogs, categories, or pages --if you don't have content there yet it pulls from the default/demo content. Its just a fake placeholder. You can go into the widget area and delete what the demo content from that section. The image will disappear until you add a widget then it will pop back up.
