[Resolved] formatting lightweight social icons?

[John MacKenzie]

I am trying toadd social icons into my top bar, however there is nowhere that i can find to override the padding that you have set int he plugin?

i need to get rid of the margin from this class however its already set as ! important so my override wont work?

.lsi-social-icons li {
    padding: 0 !important;
    display: inline-block !important;
    *display: inline;
    *zoom: 1;
    float: none !important;
    margin: 0 8px 8px 0 !important;
    list-style-type: none !important;
}

advice?

thanks!

Hi there,

You can overwrite !important by making it the selector more specific.

So in your case, this should overwrite the above:

.top-bar .inside-top-bar .lsi-social-icons li {
    padding: 0 !important;
    display: inline-block !important;
    *display: inline;
    *zoom: 1;
    float: none !important;
    margin: 0 8px 8px 0 !important;
    list-style-type: none !important;
}
