For a WP theme, I need to have the right sidebar in a different color than the left sidebar. Is there a way to do that, or is it just impossible with the actual Artisteer version?

Any suggest will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

You need to do it manually by assigning a different class to one sidebar and assigning a different color to that class.

I don't think you can do it with Artisteer, but I think you can make the change in the stylesheet (style.css).

Near the bottom of style.css there is a section marked ."art-content-layout .art-sidebar1" (or sidebar2 whichever one you want to change). In this section there will be something that will either say background image or background-color. You can make the change in either one of the sidebars to change the color or image.

Below is an extract from the stylesheet (style.css).

--------------------

.art-content-layout .art-sidebar1:before
{
position: absolute;
z-index: -2;
direction: ltr;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
content: ' ';
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
background-color: #BFC1FD;
width: 200px;
}
/* end LayoutCell, sidebar1 */

/* begin LayoutCell, sidebar2 */
.art-content-layout .art-sidebar2
{
width: 200px;
}
.art-content-layout .art-sidebar2:before
{
position: absolute;
z-index: -2;
direction: ltr;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
content: ' ';
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
background-image: url('images/sidebar_bg.png');
width: 200px;
}
/* end LayoutCell, sidebar2 */
