It's partially possible to change the hint style by style.css file. But this
allows only to style the hint labels (squares with the hint number in). To
take effect, you need to put '!important' behind the styles in case they are
defined by the hinting script, like shown below.

    #hint_container .hinting_mode_hint {
        -webkit-transform:translate(-4px,-4px);
        color: #000 !important;
        background-color: #fff !important;
        border: 1px solid #444 !important;
        opacity: 0.7 !important;
        font:bold .9em monospace !important;
    }
