Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What options are there for styling the output?

A: The plugin uses CSS IDs “qlocktwo” and inside that “highlight”. Check the ‘description’ section for a sample stylesheet.

Q: Shortcode?

A: [qlocktwo_short]

Q: Anything to come with this widget?

A: I’m looking into extending the shortcode to allow for the widget to be wrapped in something other than <p> tags.

Screenshots

  1. This is the default style included in the readme and ‘description’ section. It is modelled after the ‘frozen blackberry’ Qlocktwo colour.
  2. Another styling, with a different font, and colour.
