 * I want to increase the margin between the compact albums but since the default
   style is using !important I can’t. I tried putting the CSS in the Default Style
   Sheet in the settings but it won’t work. This is the code I want to implement:
 * .ngg-albumoverview.default-view .ngg-album-compact {
    margin: 0 10px 20px 0 !
   important; }
 * That is 20px margin-bottom instead of 10px.
 * Can you help med with this?

 * You can try to override a CSS rule that already has !important by default using
   a stronger CSS selector that contains parent CSS selectors on a higher level 
   than the default one, so basically you can try to use:
 *     ```
       body .ngg-albumoverview.default-view .ngg-album-compact {
           margin: 0 10px 20px 0 !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps
