The plugin provides an option to define a class to it just my own css styling gets overwritten by the styling the plugin came with. As I maintain highly stylised websites, this plugin is, alas, a no-get. I hope it gets fixed.

Though it wasn't completely intuitive, I got this to work without any help, without it fifty-fifty taking very long, and that is actually saying something. The cute piffling demo flick provided by the developer clinched my success. if you lot are non exactly sure how to make this plugin work right away, just exercise a little patience equally yous scout the demo several times. I am very grateful to the developers--thank you!
