CSS - Sidebar's background color, full width (wordpress)

Hi,

I'm trying to change background color of the sidebar. I was able to find the class that controls this, however I cannot get the background to extend to the full width of the sidebar, it's only as wide as the content.

Any help appreciated!

Example of what I'm trying to achieve:

Are you talking about the sidabar on the right side of an internal page? I can't quite see what you're talking about.
You will have to use the faux-columns technique for this. Basically it uses an image (or two, as in your case) that repeat vertically to give the illusion of having two columns.

I say you will need two images because one will be the textured background of the main content, and the other will be a slice to overlay that background.

I'll get back to you with a code example.
