Research direction

Start by reviewing the HTML5 widget's public API and comparing it with the existing mini-player background-color option. Confirm how an embedding page supplies widget parameters, then define done as the HTML5 widget supporting a background-color setting or the requested dark background consistently.

Description

widget

Hi,

Would it be possible to specify the background color attribute in the HTML5 widget, or at least change to a dark background?

This is already possible in the mini player, but there is no option for the HTML5 version.

It would be aesthetically more pleasing when embedding the player in a page with a dark background.

Thanks!
