Is there a way to have Accordian Widget or Tab Widget start minimized vs expanded?

To resolve this issue, you can add the following code to the style.css file

 /*Post-Comment- Tags*/ 
.nav-tabs > li > a { 
    margin-right: ...px; 
    padding-bottom: ...px; 
    padding-left: ...px; 
    padding-right: ...px; 
} 
/*Content*/ 
.tab-content { 
    width: ...px; 
} 
/*Accordian widget*/ 
#secondary .accordion { 
    width: ...px; 
}

Could you please give me more information with a clear vision of what you want to customize?
