Shields & Usage¶
Shield Styling¶
You can change the style of the shield from the rounded corners to a cleaner, flat style by setting a style value in the REQUEST_URI.
If no style is provided, the default rounded corner style will be used, setting the style value to ‘flat’ will use the flat style as seen below.
?style=flat
