# Black box or rectangular preview on refresh

 * Hi,
 * Great plugin! We are planning to buy the Pro version but got 1 issue:
 * Onload or refresh of our page [here](http://www.bookaclassic.no/annonsering/)
   a black rectangular box (or reactangular cropped glimpse of the preview image)
   shows before the full preview image loads/shows completely. (We use latest Safari
   browser on Mac)
 * This doesn’t look great! Can you somehow fix this og let us know how to add CSS
   for the black background color, so that we can make it grey #eee as our website
   background?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * great that you like it!
    Please try the following custom CSS and tell me if that
   works: `.preview-lazyload { background-color: #fff !important; }`
 * Do you think I should make white the default background colour (instead of black)?
 * Best regards,
    Kevin

 * Hi Kevin
 * Thanks, that seems to work just fine. I definetely think you should make it white
   as default, yes.
 * Do you have an answer regarding [this](https://www.dropbox.com/s/94c4doc85odxaiq/Sk%C3%A6rmbillede%202015-04-23%2021.31.24.png?dl=0)?
   When the page loads (and on refresh without cache) it shows the preview image
   in a reactangular cropped version.
 * Would be great to get that fixed as well.
 * Thanks!

 * I normally see that cropping thing when while the page is loading. But when you
   wait a few seconds, it should look as expected, at least when you’ve “Responsive
   Mode” enabled.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, but this “Cropping thing” looks like a bug and we would appreciate if you
   would fix it.
 * Thanks!

 * You can define a custom height that depends on your site and is used before the
   cropping ends, for example:
 *     ```
       .preview-lazyload {
         height: 600px;
       }
       ```
