 * Hi,
 * thank for your amazing plugin!
 * How can I customize css? I’ve tried to modify /plugins/lively-chat-support/chatbox/
   css/style.css but nothing happens…

 * Hi Matt,
 * Easiest way to customize is drop code into your theme style.css file (or style
   section if your theme has it). You’ll also have more luck namespacing your changes
   with #livelychatsupport-chatbox. For example:
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 {
    color: blue; }

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * I’ve tried several code
    #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 { color: blue; }
 * and other that you’ve already posted
    #livelychatsupport-chatbox .cta_online_text,#
   livelychatsupport-chatbox .cta_offline_text { text-align: right; }
 * but it doesn’t work… any idea?

 * Try this:
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 {
    background: blue; }
 * AND:
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 span {
    color: #fff; }

 * If !important doesn’t work, especially:
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 span {
    color: blue !important; }
 * Then maybe there’s a caching issue going on with your WP caching technique or
   browser. Maybe try clearing both?

 * Thanks to both of you!
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox h3 {
    color: blue !important; }
 * works fine!
 * I’ve also changed chatbox size and border color and it works:
 * #livelychatsupport-chatbox {
    width:220px !important; border-color: #8f8f8f !
   important; }
