XF2 GUIDE Sticky thread simple styling

After trying ALMUSA's sticky thread separator, I went a bit further and decided to try customising the look of the stickies.

This seems to be much simpler than in xf1, the following added to EXTRA.less will change the background colour, font style and font colour of the main text (i.e. the links)
Code:
.structItemContainer-group.structItemContainer-group--sticky

{background:#000;
font-style:italic;}

.structItemContainer-group.structItemContainer-group--sticky a
{color:#fff}
