 * Love the plugin, which I’m using for the first time on demo site [http://saf3.wpengine.com/](http://saf3.wpengine.com/).
   But there doesn’t seem to be a transparent background option. When I change the
   CSS to
 * ‘.simple-social-icons ul li a, .simple-social-icons ul li a:hover {
    background-
   color: transparent!important; }’
 * in Genesis Dynamik’s front-end CSS builder, it fixes it until I save, when it
   seems to revert back to defaults.
 * The only fix I’ve found so far suggests modifying the plugin files, which I’d
   prefer not to do: [http://genesisdesignr.com/inset-text-shadow-with-social-icons/](http://genesisdesignr.com/inset-text-shadow-with-social-icons/).
 * Am I missing something and will you be adding transparent backgrounds to future
   updates?
