Styling the Widgets

Custom Colors, Styles, and Fonts

You can customize the look and feel of widget to match with the style of your hosting web page. To do so, create another .CSS file with the styles that you want to overwrite the default .CSS file for the widget. Ensure that when you specify the new .CSS style sheet in the HTML code for the web page that you list the second .CSS file after the default .CSS file.

Warning

Exercise caution when you make changes to the CSS to make sure functionality is retained.
