Thanks Chris, unfortunately it didn't work.
Let me explain further:
I changed the site overall background color by inserting this code in the quick css: body {background: #f3f3f3;}
It worked, with the following exceptions:
Custom Menu widget, on the right hand side of interior pages. The widgets displays a menu (locations) made under Menus just for this widget. The background color there remains white, it doesn't take the site background color.
UPDATE: I guess I just solved this modifying this id on the quick css: #nav_menu-2 a {background: #f3f3f3;}
Please confirm it's correct.
Just to clarify, here's a snapshot of the right column: http://www.granitexpress.net/whitearea-CustomWidget.png

Secondly, the slider controls remain with white background, please see this snapshot: http://www.granitexpress.net/3whiteareas_slideshowcounters.png
Can you help me making this area #f3f3f3 instead of the default #ffffff ?
I know it's something around this classes: .slidecontrolls or maybe .autoslidecontrolls, just can't make it work
Thanks again for your help.
Daniel
