That can be done with CSS, which requires the Custom Design Upgrade. This would be the code if you want to try it out. Go to appearance > custom design > CSS, paste it into the CSS edit area and then click the "preview" button. In some browsers you may have to force refresh the preview page to see the change.

#wrap {
background: #FFFFFF;
}

The container exists and can be used. Showcased posts in that spot must include a featured image, otherwise you get an empty grey box in its place – no way to eliminate that. Have you read this Introduction to the Structure theme so you know how it has been designed to operate?

Hi everyone!

I am completely new to this and am probably about to ask a very silly question....

Is there a way of adding a container on top of a background image in the Structure Theme?
My blog currently has an image in the background and I would like to add a white container/box so that the content of my articles can be legible.

Thank you for your time!
