You’d have to view the source of your page (or use Firebug to inspect it) so that you know exactly which elements/classes/IDs you want to target, then you could easily add whatever styling you want to your custom stylesheet targeting the aforementioned elements/classes/IDs. Because there is a theoretical infinite combination of answers due to every setup, every widget, and every customization being slightly different, I can’t really be more specific.

Box is up and running just fine. I’m using an image widget. Is there a way to get some styling in there — font size, color, different headline font, padding between copy and image so I can move it to the left side of the widget? Thanks…

I think the article image takes precedent. Disable that on the individual articles and you’ll probably be fine. If that’s not the case, you’ll need to ask at Thesis support. I’ve not used the theme for several versions now, so it may not be behaving like I was used to anymore.

Yikes, Hi Rick this doesn’t seem to work for me.. :(

The multimedia box looks good for the homepage, but when you click though to individual post pages, it shows the article image in its place of expected video for some reason.. So it looks like its not picking up the setting somehow.. Any idea where I can look? I want to use widget logic eventually..

Rick,
Thanks! This is great. And I had just recently discovered Widget Logic which is fantastic. Is it possible to move the MM Box to the the left sidebar panel ?(using 3 columns on a site) — or any other place also? I’d love the flexibility of moving the box.
Thanks!

ich have successfully widgetized the multimedia box. Thanks Rick!
But if i put a widget like Killer Recent Entries in it, then this widget got no styling like the other widgets in the sidebar.
How can i set up the styling for this Multimedia Box Widget?

Thank you Rick! I actually did get into the ftp area and accessed the file; removed what I added and it is acting better. At least I am able to log back into the admin pane/dashboard, but I keep getting other weird errors that I can only chalk up to this mistake. I did save the originally customized php file with an extension and will always have that now if needed.

I appreciate your time; thanks again.

Remove the code you added to the file. Replace it with an entirely blank file if you have to; there’s likely a syntax error in your code that you’ll need to track down before you’ll be able to use the code on your site.

For further help, ask on the Thesis support board. Thanks.
