Plugin:

  1. Install and activate a plugin like "Custom CSS" or "Simple Custom CSS".
  2. In the plugin's settings, add the following code: .ditty-news-ticker { background-color: #your-color-here; }
  3. Replace #your-color-here with the hex code of the background color you want to use.

That's it! Your Ditty News Ticker should now have the background color you specified.
