How can I style the background of a content query webpart in SharePoint 2010?

How can I style the background of a content query webpart in SharePoint 2010?

I have been having a look around, and can’t seem to figure it out. I am able to edit the individual item styles using the ItemStyle.xsl file in SharePoint designer, but I need a background image on the container.

I have referenced the class that is generated by SharePoint – ‘WebPartWPQ4’ – in CSS, and made it work that way, but that changes the styles for all web parts in the system. (This also feels like a bit of a hack)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The way I have solved this is to wrap the webpart zone in a div in the .aspx page file.
    You can then reference this div in a css file.
