Without Default Styles

Don't import the CSS and style the classes yourself:

import { TimePicker } from 'scrubtime';
// Don't import styles.css

// Style these classes:
// .scrubtime
// .scrubtime-label
// .scrubtime-container
// .scrubtime-display
// .scrubtime-value
// .scrubtime-hours
// .scrubtime-minutes
// .scrubtime-separator
// .scrubtime-slider-container
// .scrubtime-slider
// .scrubtime-slider-labels

With Tailwind CSS

You can use Tailwind by passing a className and not importing the default styles:

<TimePicker
  value={time}
  onChange={setTime}
  className="[&_.scrubtime-container]:bg-zinc-800 [&_.scrubtime-value]:bg-zinc-700"
/>
