# CSS changes in version 1.8

 * There has been a nagging conflict with some themes and the position and width
   of the testimonial content box and thumbnail photos. After trying a different
   approach and testing in many popular (free) themes, I believe I have this fixed
   in version 1.8.
 * If your testimonials now look off, try removing any custom CSS rules that apply
   to Strong Testimonials – for instance, if I told you to try adding this or that,
   or you found a solution on a forum somewhere – to see how the plugin’s new stylesheet
   works.
 * **Nuts and Bolts vs. Paint and Chrome**
 * Plugins are loaded after themes so I tried to keep this plugin’s style rules 
   primarily structural (nuts and bolts) – aside from the basic layout inherited
   from the original plugin, which I plan to make optional soon – so your theme 
   can provide the look (paint and chrome).
 * But if you still don’t like the way the plugin styles the testimonials, you can
   skip loading the stylesheets (one each for pages, form, widgets) in the Testimonials
   Settings page.

 * The short code in a text box, in the sidebar is being formatted to over lap with
   the content on the main body. I’ve only seen it on the testimonials page; and
   that page uses the short code to show all.

 * Please help me re-create the problem.
    Oxygen theme, yes? Cycle shortcode in 
   a text widget in which sidebar? Which shortcode on the page?

    main sidebar (left) in text widget [wpmtst-cycle]
 * I sent you an e-mail with a screen shot.

 * That sidebar is only 160px.
    The image is 150px. The testimonial has 20px padding
   on both sides. So we’re at least 190px. Removing the image helps, but the quote
   symbol is 40px and the first word of the title is 126px plus 40px padding = 206px.
   Removing the quote symbol helps but 126px plus 40px padding = 166px which is 
   still wider than the sidebar.
 * Diagnosis:
    1. The sidebar is too narrow. 2. You’re trying to shoehorn the cycle
   shortcode, which was meant for pages, into a place it cannot fit.
 * Recommendations:
    Either 1. Make the sidebar wider. That theme uses percentages
   so that means you will have adjust the sibling components as well. or 2. Wait
   until I get the Excerpt and “Read more link to testimonial” options working for
   the widget too.
