Custom Styles

If you are not happy with default styles you can easily override them with your styles like that:

.shimmer-loading .ngx-shimmer {
	// Your styles go here...
}

Note that: shimmer effect animation here depends on css linear-gradient property so, if you want to change its color you can edit it or you can unset it and change its background-color value if you don't want the shimmer effect animation.
