Adding A Background Layer

[NOXA]

Greetings,

Alright, so I'm looking for some help with this one. What I'm looking to do is add a dark background to this template, so that the bright text becomes readable. I understand it would be easier to simply turn the text darker by changing the color code, but I'm afraid that wouldn't fit the aesthetic I'm going for.

Currently, what I have is this:

pyxis ?

And I'm hoping to modify it in this way:

Essentially add the area in green to the back of the template's background.

Just add the inline style for the background-color to the 3rd opening tr element.
