If you like, you can also change the color scheme in the way you want. Just click on Settings -> Block and change the color scheme in the way you want.

There’s another option called scheduler. If you enable this option, your alert message will be shown to a specific group of people at a specific time.

To enable it, open the block settings and click on visibility control. Then, enable the scheduler and set the time. Remember, this is a pro feature; therefore, you must have the pro version of the Ultimate Blocks plugin.
