 * Hi,
 * Is it in the roadmap to be able to set a custom colour for the displayed balloons?
 * It would come in handy because I’m not that handy with CSS or HTML code and that
   way I could just provide a #333333 code to the shortcode that will colour it.
 * Thanks in advance for your reaction!
 * Kind regards

 * It is not something that I had thought of doing as the plugin is really aimed
   at showing the child pages in a way that can be easily styled via CSS.
 * I may look at incorporating a way of specifying your own colouring in a future
   release, but in the meantime adding the following custom CSS via Settings > CC
   Child Pages should do the trick:
 *     ```
       .ccchildpage {
           border: 2px solid #666666 !important; /* Border colour and style */
           border-radius: 3px !important; /* Radius of border corners, for square corners set to 0 */
           background: #333333 !important; /* Background colour */
           color: #999999 !important; /* Font color */
       }
       ```
   
 * … I have shown the basic styling for the child pages with comments saying what
   they do. Just change the values to whatever you need, and remove any lines that
   you don’t need. (Note: the !important tag at the end of the line ensures that
   these settings override any skins you may have specified in the shortcode.
 * I hope that this helps.
