How to change , color , font size etc ?
The Thesis style footer is mostly based on CSS so you need to change the css for the desired results visit w3schools.com for learning CSS if you don't (w3schools.com is the place were i learned coding)

How to change the width of the Wrapper ?
for changing the size of the wrapper you need to "#footer-column-container" at line 2. just change the width property to change size you want.

How to change the width of the 3 column footer widgets
i have kept the 3 column widget footer fixed instead of fluid to avoid few problems that may arise. if you change the size of the above wrapper then you will also need to change the size of the widgets for that search for ".footer-column" at line 3 just below the width of the above wrapper
