 * Write css in code – very bad idea.
    You must code something like `$output .= '
   class="class_name"';`

 * Mazzy, please use output style as list and turn off plugin CSS. This will remove
   inline styles completely. Usually widgets use inline CSS as this guarantees, 
   they will work properly on different websites.

 * Maria,
    Having inline CSS makes it difficult for user to customize the look. 
   Why not adding a stylesheet?

 * bluebird2, inline CSS overwrites any other CSS options, like in theme or other
   plugins. So it guarantees, that plugin will work properly in different themes,
   etc out of the box. If you want to customize CSS, you can turn off inline CSS
   in plugin options and customize them as you like in your stylesheet. In addition,
   any other stylesheets increase amount of http requests to your webserver.
