 * Should be an option to disable injected CSS. Why would you use !important tags
   on EVERYTHING. That’s such sloppy styling.

 * We use !important values ​​because otherwise they will be overwritten by themes
   too often. Other ways were inadequate. We don’t see any negative effects from
   this, as all !important values ​​can still be overwritten by using selectors 
   that are strong enough.
 * There is an option available to disable the CSS (Admin Menu > Downloads > New/
   Edit). To remove a stylesheet (../download.css) you can use the function [wp_dequeue_style()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_dequeue_style/).
 * If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. We are glad to help you.
 * Kind regards,
