Customization

You can easily customize the look and colours of the this footer widget. I have bolded the important parts in the CSS code above. Read the descriptions below carefully to better stylize your three column widget. For changing colours use our advanced Colour Code Generator

  • background:#333434;   Changing the six digit colour code will change the background colour of this widget.
  • width: 960px;  This is the width of the widget. If you want you can adjust this width value in accordance with the width of your blog.
  • background:#fff;  and    width: 32%; is the background colour and width of the three columns where the widgets are added.
  • color:#0084ce; This is the Colour of Title Headings
  • font: bold 14px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;  Edit this to change the font size and family.
  • border-bottom:3px solid #0084ce;   Edit this to change the thickness, style and colour of the border that appears at the bottom of Title Heading
  • border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc; Editing this will change the size, style and colour of the border that appears below links.

That’s All!
