 * Hi Chris. Why in your stylesheet for this plugin did you use *. The * overides
   css in my theme and i am having a hard time dealing with the font colors of my
   theme. I end up using !important tag in my css to overide this. Am i doing something
   incorrectly? It would color my body text white.
 * .wc-shortcodes-box-primary * {color: #ffffff;}

 * I see the option -(Use shortcode CSS provided by plugin) which is checked. This
   would solve my problem. I guess this was my mistake that i was depending on your
   style sheet, and trying to override color choices.

 * my to theme stylesheet and that seems to fix a lot of my issues. – thanks
