Yes, you would need the CSS upgrade. You can use the preview function at appearance > edit CSS to see what it looks like at least.

thesacredpath: do I have to paste the code in CSS or is there another way? IT looks exactly like I wanted! Thanks!

Your background image is great, but at 2.8mb it is way too large (file size). You want to optimize it for the web so that it is no more than 100 or 150k at the most so your site loads fast for those on slower internet connections.

If you have the custom CSS-upgrade, define #sidebar with a color contrasting to the text's color...

The colors for the text are just placeholders. I made the sidebar border and background colors match the content area. You can of course change all that as you desire.

#sidebar {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFA;
border: 3px solid #D0CBB5;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}

#sidebar ul li a {
color: #000000;
}

#sidebar ul li a:hover {
color: #CC0000;
}
