Copy and paste the following CSS into Umbraco Engage and your popup is ready. You can add the CSS to your existing stylesheet or create a new one.

You can change the font, colors, and other properties at the top of the CSS code.

Feel free to play around with other properties. You can always use this code to reset the styling.

Copy and paste the following JavaScript into Umbraco Engage. You can create a new JavaScript file containing the code or add it to your template's script tag.
