Theme description: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/

The date bar for posts in the Mystique theme is also done with an image:

You can simply download the image, make a copy of the exact same image with different colors, upload the new image to your media library and use this CSS to replace the image in the theme:

.post-info {
background: transparent url(YOUR_IMAGE_URL) no-repeat right top;
}

Replace YOUR_IMAGE_URL with your modified image URL from your media library after you upload it.

You cannot add widget boxes just using CSS, but if the theme does have a widget area built in to the footer, then you can add widgets from the Appearance -> Widgets page and then you can adjust the color of the boxes. Do you mean you want to change the background color of the boxes or the text color or the border color?

Are you talking about these tabs? http://s2.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/mystique/images/tab.png

You can change those out, but first you have to create an image exactly like that one with the new icons you would like to use and upload it to your media library. Once you have that, you can change out the tabs with CSS like this:

ul.sidebar-tabs li a {
background: transparent url("YOUR_IMAGE_URL") no-repeat left top;
}

There is not currently a way to make a header linked when it's not already built into the theme, but there is a CSS workaround. See the following post for details about how it works. Note that you will probably need to adjust the CSS to be specific to Mystique, but you should start by creating a text widget with a transparent PNG.

The gap is set on the menu bar, and you can adjust it with the following CSS. I would also adjust the shadow.

#access {
box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

1. The menu bar text colors in Mystique can be controlled with these codes:

#access a {
	color: #4e4e4e;
}
#access ul ul a {
	color: #4e4e4e;
}
#access ul ul :hover > a {
	color: #0071bb;
}
#access .current-menu-parent > a {
	color: #fff;
}
#access .current-menu-parent > a:hover {
	color: #0071bb !important;
}

Change out the colors as necessary.
