-> put a check mark in front of the the "Expand Widget Templates"
option (details: same as the first 3 steps in this post)
2. On your keyboard press the "Ctrl" and "F" keys at same time to bring up the search box.
3. In the search box you type in (or copy) this highlighted codes .tabs-inner { to search, in the template window you will see the mouse cursor come up to some code similar to following screenshot:
