 * Can css be used to change how the “success” message is formatted? I would like
   the formatting to be coloured larger text without the white box around it, something
   like
 * [what goes here] {
    color: #ffffff; font-size: 16px; }
 * Thanks for your help in figuring this out.

 * Hi lewatson,
 * That greenbox with the white border is the default success message style provided
   by WordPress. You can easily change the success message CSS attributes using 
   the following :
 *     ```
       .yks-status .yks-success {
         border-left: none;
         background-color: transparent;
         font-size: 16px;
         -webkit-box-shadow: none;
         box-shadow: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should get you headed in the right direction. You’ll want to place that 
   in your child themes style.css file, to prevent future plugin updates from reverting
   things back to how they were.
 * Thanks,
    Evan

 * Thanks Evan. I’ll give that a try. I would never have come up with that myself!!

 * No problem! Let me know how it works for you. If you’re still having difficulties
   I’ll give it another look over.

 * It seems to be working for me, if that helps at all.
