 * Hi,
    I would like to not have the background color transparent (i.e. so you do
   not see the box around the icon) but when I clear the color in Icon Background
   Color in settings, it still defaults to a grey (#999999). Plus you have made 
   it hard to overwrite this color by using !important when this does not seem necessary.

 * hi,
 * actually the !important is added to css , to make it cross browser / different
   theme compatible.
 * you can add the same css selector code with !important in your override css, 
   so that your one will be get higher priority then the plugins default one.
 * and we should check this issue next update.
 * thanks for using our plugins.
