Amazing plugin, exactly what i was looking for - thank you!  
Is there a way to **not** display the emoticons white background ? i.e. use transparent emoticon background?

EDIT:  
If anyone has this issue, apparently it is easy to setup, add to the discourse template CSS:

```
.post-retort {
    background: transparent;
    border: 0px;
}

```

Looks like there’s an issue with the latest version (`Discourse 2.5.0.beta5 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 8f59f155fbfbf9a8b2aecfafb5f222261b6ebfae`):

Loving the plugin. I’m curious on what theme setting is making the reactions have this annoying background color on our dark theme (I did not set up the dark theme).

We’re sadly seeing the same issue on our site, and I’ve just rebuilded it. But, it’s still failing.

The “Recently used” section is always empty for me. Is it a known bug?

Translator browser plugins or something cause an issue where users can react with an “emoji” that is not on the approved list:

Sorry for the late question 🙂  
Where will this text be inserted?  
common.scss?

On discourse\_theme I got only empty files for new theme, not the sourcecode from forum.  
If I download my theme I got 576 bytes file with the color palette I think .json.

I search now for two days, but use wrong words I think.

I want to change the background

```plaintext
.post-retort
{
    background: #d9d9d9 !important;
}

```

Or I must set all values for float, padding … ?

You don’t have to change any file. Just go to Discourse settings - Customize - and in the template you activated there is a button to add custom CSS directly in the UI.

I found a problem when using S3 stored assets and a CDN. Custom emojis don’t load correctly. Instead of using the CDN URL they incorrectly directly point to the S3 storage bucket.

Does anyone know how to change the color of the number that accounts for the total number of reactions? I feel that mine is too light.  
Also bonus question is it possible to decrease the gaps in between the reactions?

Nevermind I found code that can change it:

```plaintext
span.post-retort__count {
  color: black;
}

One way would be to archive the topic. It will still be there for all to see, but no one can do anything to it. I don’t believe the plugin can either.
