Your custom messages box design
If you want your custom messages box design just create folder and file messages in /themes/[your-theme-name]/partials/messages/default.htm and put your code.
If you changed default alias of Messages component (which is
messages) you have to change also folder name!
For default code you can look in /plugins/janvince/smallmessages/components/messages.
