the tops of the small calendars i am assuming your talking about ?? .

if so : in the admin cp -> styles and templates -> in the drop down menu for the style choose 'Main Css' .

in the main css scroll down ( the 5^th block ) till you find the setting for the : Category Strips :
in the : Background : -> currently #28200e <-
change it to the color you wish : black is #000000 .

some other places 'may' be effected on the site with this - think 1 or 2 deeper in someplace.

any mods and hacks that use this css setting "tcat" will also be black.
