Customizing Visor

Overriding styles

Visor has a class of Visor--override on the outer <section> element. To change any of the default styles, simply start your styles with .Visor.Visor--override. This will make your styles more specific without resorting to !important madness.

Overriding icons

Visor also uses inline SVGs for all graphics. This:

• Reduces HTTP requests
• Looks crisp at any pixel density
• Allows you to re-style the icons using fill in your CSS

Overriding background

If you'd prefer to replace purple with a different color you can change this by targeting .Visor--override .Visor__modal.

Browser compatibility

This has been tested on Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but drop in an Issue if you notice any strangeness.
