 * Hi,
 * Can I get a css code snippet for the background color of the countdown?
    Right
   now it’s white, I need to change it to a darker color for my theme. [https://snipboard.io/1ZgBFV.jpg](https://snipboard.io/1ZgBFV.jpg)

 * Just seeing this now too. You should be able to use the Inspector in Chrome for
   that, but will ask our lead developer to assist.

 * [@sounds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sounds/) The existing style rule
   selector for this in `css/rs-shortcodes.css` is:
 * `.current-show-countdown .rs-hours, .current-show-countdown .rs-minutes, .current-
   show-countdown .rs-seconds {background-color: #F0F0F0;}`
 * So you can override it by adding an extra level of specificity to the selector,
   eg.
 * `.current-show-countdown.rs-countdown .rs-hours, .current-show-countdown.rs-countdown.
   rs-minutes, .current-show-countdown.rs-countdown .rs-seconds {background-color:#
   040b09;}`
 * or…
 * `body .current-show-countdown .rs-hours, body .current-show-countdown .rs-minutes,
   body .current-show-countdown .rs-seconds {background-color: #040b09;}`

 * Thanks Tony, Majick,
 * I just changed 040b09 and it did the job.
