Hello ive searched this topic and found some css here but nothing that has worked , wondered if im missing something, the simplest code i have tried is:
.sidebar {
background: #cf4abf;
}
and a few other variants i have come across on this topic, but pasting it in the custom css does nothing, any ideas would be appreciated
thanks
M
