 * Hi Tobias
 * I am looking at the Table Tools extension to see if it would be a good idea for
   me to use.
 * Is there any way to change the colours of the buttons (to my themes colours) 
   and also to have a hover or description for each button so that end users can
   see what they are for. The Print Preview button shows the description but the
   others do not although the PDF button is obvious what it is. I like the basic
   idea of the tools and can see advantages for using them.
 * I have updated the following page for you to view …

 * Thank you for your help.
 * Regards
    Neil

 * Hi Neil,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, changing the styling of these buttons is possible with some CSS code.
    As
   you already have some experience with TablePress, I’d suggest that you try to
   find the relevant CSS selector with e.g. the Google Chrome Developer Tools. With
   those, you can inspect all the elements on a website and see how they can be 
   targeted with CSS code.
 * About the extra description: This might be possible with some extra JavaScript
   code in the DataTables JS library (or actually the TableTools Extension’s JS 
   code), but as I’m not teh developer of that, I don’t know what the best way to
   do that would be right now. Sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
