FAQ

Q. How do I change the style of the list?
A. In the plugin folder is a .css file that you can edit, remember to keep your changes and re-apply them after updating the plugin in future.

You can confirm the path for the file by switching on the debug information (see Plug-in
description) and looking for the value for STYLESHEETPATH. This is the file you need to create.
