I'm coding a widget that allow to change the background color of the widget itself. I've included the jquery code into the widget-fields.php file, and now when the user clicks on the color picker it returns the hex value of the color inside a custom variable $background_color. The question is: how can I tell WordPress to add the background color style to the widget? I've used this code echo div style="background-color: '. $background_color .'" ; echo $before_widget;
in other words, I've added a custom <div> that contains the widget, but I don't think this method is correct...
