Register/enqueue an admin stylesheet function my_admin_theme_style() { wp_enqueue_style(‘my-admin-theme’, get_template_directory_uri().’/admin-style.css’); } add_action(‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_admin_theme_style’); Then add rules of the form #widget-list div[id*=”_archives-“], div[id*=”_archives-“] { background:red; } Consider that proof of concept.

If a name ($name) is specified then a specialized sidebar sidebar-{name}.php will be included. What you want is … Read more
