Styling your counter
🎨 · Styling script embeds
Styling your counter with Voux is super simple. All you need to do is wrap your counter script inside an element. We'll use a <span> in this example:
<span class="counter-widget">
<!---------------------replace this with urs--------------------->
<script async src="https://your-domain/embed/abc123.js"></script>
</span>
Once that's in place, you can style it however you like using CSS. Here's a simple example that centers the counter on the screen and makes the text black:
.counter-widget {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
text-align: center;
color: black;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 3rem;
font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
}
And that's it. Your counter is now styled and ready to use. You can change the font, colors, or layout any way you like.
🧩 · Styling SVGs embeds
Voux also provides an SVG embed for cases where you cannot use JavaScript, such as READMEs, Markdown files, or restricted platforms.
<img src="https://your-domain/embed/abc123.svg" alt="Voux counter">
You can also customize the SVG by passing parameters in the URL query string:
<img src="https://your-domain/embed/abc123.svg?bg=F54927&color=ffffff"
alt="Voux counter">
See the documentation for a full list of SVG parameters.
