How to change Nav bar color?
First part is for blue bar and second part for menu item hover

.themonic-nav ul.nav-menu, .themonic-nav div.nav-menu > ul {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #000000;
}
.themonic-nav li a:hover {
    background: #000000;
    color: #ffffff;
}

If you upgrade to Pro version you do not need the above as it has Color Picker for easy changing of colors.

How to change Search widget background?

#searchsubmit {
    background: #000000;
}

How to change site width?

.site {
    max-width: 1140px;
}

How to change width of content and sidebar containers?
The code below will increase sidebar size by 2%.

.site-content {
    width: 61.2%;
}
.widget-area {
    width: 30.7%;
}

Use these codes in Additional CSS section in live customizer or Iconic One child theme, the latter is recommended as you can safely update your theme without affecting your customization changes.
