 * I installed the add-on and changed the shortcode.
    1. The five icons have popped
   up, but they are hardly legible. Could it be that their 0.3 opacity background
   shines through? 2. Is it possible to change the font-size of the print-output?
   3. Is it possible to have only the printoption and hide the other four? I hope
   you can give me a pointer, Thanks Som

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * 1. That could be possible. Can you please post a link to the page with the table
   where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
 * 2. I don’t think that this is possible, but as I’m not the developer of the TableTool
   JS code, I can’t give a definite answer here 🙁 You might want to check the DataTables
   TableTools website at [http://legacy.datatables.net/extras/tabletools/](http://legacy.datatables.net/extras/tabletools/)
 * 3. Yes, that’s possible but will require a small code modification. In the file“
   tablepress-datatables-tabletools.php”, line 60 needs to be changed to
 *     ```
       $tabletools_options = '{ "sSwfPath": "' . $swf_path . '", "aButtons": [ { "sExtends": "print", "sButtonText": "" } ] }';
       ```

 * Thanks Tobias,
    I’ll get to work on that. I forgot to tell that I am working 
   on WAMP localhost. With firebug I extracted the following HTML if that helps:
   <embed width=”36″ height=”34″ align=”middle” wmode=”transparent” flashvars=”id
   =1&width=36&height=34″ pluginspage=”[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221);
   type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”false” allowscriptaccess
   =”always” name=”ZeroClipboard_TableToolsMovie_1″ bgcolor=”#ffffff” quality=”best”
   menu=”false” loop=”false” src=”[http://localhost/supersam/wp-content/plugins/tablepress-datatables-tabletools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf&#8221](http://localhost/supersam/wp-content/plugins/tablepress-datatables-tabletools/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf&#8221);
   id=”ZeroClipboard_TableToolsMovie_1″> Thanks for your quick advise. Sam

 * Hi Sam,
 * yes, that’s the Flash object for the TableTools that it needs for the “Copy to
   Clipboard” function. I don’t see how that affects the styling though, sorry.
   
   You might want to try to simply override the `opacity` value with some new CSS
   code.

 * Thanks Tobias,
    I am working with a Child Theme so I think I can manage a bit
   of CSS manipulation. Thanks again, Sam

 * Hi,
 * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
    Instead 
   of putting the CSS into the child theme, you could also use the “Custom CSS” 
   textarea in TablePress.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I changed it also so I had only the print icon left. Is there a way to translate
   the displayed icon title (“View Print View”), and the popup text which appears
   on the page after clicking the icon? And is it possible that the popup appears
   for a LONGER time period before it disappears?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, you’ll have to change those strings directly in the TableTools.
   min.js file, as there doesn’t seem to be a direct option in the TableTools script.
 * Regards,

 * Hi Tobias,
 * is there also a way to make the popup to appear longer?

 * Hi Albert,
 * I don’t think so, as that’s coming from the browser and not the script. Sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
