Oops, my turn to apologize now. Got lost in my inbox.

Anyway, three lines of code for the currents:

.entry .metadata { background-color: #000; } /* for the currents */
.entry .footer .tag { background-color: #fff; } /* for the tag */
.entry .footer .inner { padding-top: 0;} /* to remove a leftover strip of blue in between the tag and the currents*/
