For http://startbeat.com/
How do I override the theme settings to make it look good?
Is changing to the arabia theme a good option?
The widget are and this http://startbeat.com/events are the problem

Hello,
Event Espresso comes with basic styling and then uses styles from your existing theme.
What would you specifically like to change on your page?

It just looks terrible. I want it clean and organized.
All I want for the widget area is a date and title. If I can do color coded backgrounds for different categories that would be even better.
Thank you! I just really want to finish this!

Hi,
Most of that styling is coming from your theme. You can install a plugin like Theme Test Drive and then test out other themes.
Here is what the ticket options looks like with Twenty Twelve:

We can share some CSS if you are trying to change something specific but we can’t provide you with styles for the entire page.

Thank you!
That was a huge help!
Last thing,
For the widget area, I just want it to say the date – event time
How do I do this?
Thank you,
Dave

Hello,
I want to mention that the Theme Testdrive plugin is a way for you to preview other themes.
It works by showing the WordPress administrators one theme while non-logged in visitors see your original theme. In other words, your website is still using your original theme.
Are you referring to the upcoming classes widget?

Hi,
Something like this? http://take.ms/phokx
You would need to modify it, the easiest way is with CSS.
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-li h6,
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-li br,
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-li b { display:none; }
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-li { list-style-type: none; }
.ee-event-datetimes-ul { list-style-type: none; }
.dashicons-clock:before { content:"" !important; }
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; }
.ee-event-datetimes-ul { margin:0; }
.ee-upcoming-events-widget-ul h5 a { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Thats good but I was thinking something more stylish. Are there any theme options for that?

Sorry no there aren’t. We have made it so that the plugin takes on the Theme CSS styles.
As such any modification would need to be done via CSS, or if they are quite drastic, via PHP changes.
If you are not comfortable with CSS I would recommend contacting a web developer, though the above code may well get you started on the right track.

Thank you.
So what I would like to do is have for each event 3 lines
Title (Heading font)
Date
Time
then a space and the next group of 3. This way it wont look as scattered. Can you please provide me with the CSS for this
