 * Hi there!
 * Thanks for the great plugin!
 * I can’t find a topic for styling the CSS attributes. If I try to style them in
   my own custom CSS (after inspecting with the Chrome Inspector), there are no 
   changes applied, even if I try to add the “!important” property.
 * For example I’d like to have some notes with colored backgrounds (and adjusted
   font colors), for different cases (warnings in red, hints in yellow, and so on…).

 * Hello, where/how exactly are you trying to add your own CSS? Via your theme?

 * Yes, in my own theme stylesheet (I’ve developed my own theme).

 * Awesome, in order to apply styles to the Admin Area, you need to enqueue using
   a specific hook. Here is a search that should help get you there:

 * More specifically, here is the hook to use:

 * @spcialk: Thank you very much!
 * From your special link above (WordPress Codex) I’ve tried the following hook:
 * function load_custom_wp_admin_style() {
    wp_register_style( ‘custom_wp_admin_css’,
   get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/admin-style.css’, false, ‘1.0.0’ ); wp_enqueue_style(‘
   custom_wp_admin_css’ ); } add_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘load_custom_wp_admin_style’);
 * and I created this file in my themes’ parent directory:
 * admin-style.css
 * and applied the style for the notes background. It works! 🙂
