.widget-header {
	background: black;
}

Yes! I did get the widget body figured out but the header is what was throwing me off. Thank you! Now I have one other issue… the main page looks great, but when I click to go to forums, the forum tables still have the white bg. Which with the color of the links I have, makes viewing the forums kinda impossible. Any help would be appreciated!

edit: for the moment I set the color of the links to red so the LS can use the site. Would still like to make it white though.Amoralee

#forums .table thead tr, #threads .table thead tr{/* for the headers */
	background: none; 
}
.forum{ /* for the topics */
	background: none;
}
.table tbody tr:hover td, .table tbody tr:hover th { /* hover color (optional) */
	background-color: #333;
}

I've put all the code into Global Template. Not sure what the difference between style and template is though. But everything on all my pages looks like how I want it to from the template.Claire

Thank you Minh that did work for the first page of the forums, but it did not cross over to the next page. for example: If i click on About Us in our forums, the page it takes me to has white bg still. Not sure why it isn't universal since it is in global style. Any ideas how to fix that would be great. Otherwise I will probably just stick with a visible color for the links.

Thanks for the help it's much appreciated!Amoralee
