Add a classname to each of the widgets you want to style differently

Thanks, but I actually did see that. I should have included that in my question. I see where it has CSS Class, but what do I put there?

whatever you want the class to be called? ie/ "my_cool_class" ( without the quotes )

Wouldn't the class I put in there have to be defined somewhere? I'm trying to pull a class from the right side, without the white, but none work.

Yep, you can just add the class to the bottom of your skins stylesheet and use it to override whatever settings you like

.my_cool_class{
background-color:#f4c; /* wear shades :D */
}

can't get it to work, I must be missing something!
