SASS variables
$rhap_theme-color: #868686 !default; // Color of all buttons and volume/progress indicators
$rhap_background-color: #fff !default; // Color of the player background
$rhap_bar-color: #e4e4e4 !default; // Color of volume and progress bar
$rhap_time-color: #333 !default; // Font color of current time and duration
$rhap_font-family: inherit !default; // Font family of current time and durationFor LESS variables, just replace $ with @.
Advanced Usage
Access to the audio element
You can get direct access to the underlying audio element. First get a ref to ReactAudioPlayer:
this.player = createRef()
<ReactAudioPlayer ref={this.player} />Then you can access the audio element like this:
this.player.current.audio.current
