Manfisher Footnote Reference Container Color

@barrystrauss

Thank you for reaching out. While the Footnotes plugin is not striping its reference containers, your active theme is, by the means of styling tables. Overriding the theme’s default table styling may be done in Custom CSS, either in the facility provided by the theme or in Footnotes dashboard under the Custom CSS tab.

You report a table default striping with gray and white, so the odd rows are gray, the even rows white, e.g.:

tr:nth-child(odd) {
    background-color: #aaaaaa;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

To replace the gray with a lighter color in the Footnotes reference containers, please add some CSS similar to the following, where the previously gray rows are now colored with a very light blue background:

.footnotes_plugin_reference_row:nth-child(odd) {
    background-color: #eeeeff;
}
.footnotes_plugin_reference_row:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

To make sure all rows are white, the even and odd nth-child pseudo-classes (generically coloring table rows has no effect on striped tables) are set both to a white background:

.footnotes_plugin_reference_row:nth-child(odd),
.footnotes_plugin_reference_row:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: white;
}

Your request has triggered the addition of new settings to the list of missing settings queuing up for upcoming v2.5.4 (considering that the lack of the ability to easily control the styles may be perceived as a bug), or for oncoming 2.6.0 where we need to add missing features.

Thank you for helping improve the Footnotes plugin!
