Styling

All styles are handled inline but each element contains a CSS class so you can override what's necessary to override locally. Below is the basic structure for reference:

<div class="ra-tooltip-wrapper">
    <div class="ra-tooltip">
        <div class="ra-tooltip-message">
            <p>Tooltip text</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
