Hi,

    What are you trying to do? Are you 100% sure that you need to edit the link to the style.css file or wouldn't it be a better option to make a new theme and only edit the changes in there?

    think how much sooner you would get a solution if you actually posted specifics.
    It's generally a good idea not to modify styles.css and just to modify custom.css (create one if needed) in the themeyouareusing/design/custom.css

    also read the documentation on themes.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    Dang it, what I meant to say is that I need to edit the link href="styles.css" line somewhere. Need to change some attributes. Is there a view that has this?

    information-wise
    css gets added in class.controller.php

    you could also do things like this in a plugin or app

    $Sender->ClearCssFiles();
$Sender->AddCssFile('style.css');

    That's what I needed to know.

    I think I got it sorted out though, was trying to make a color changer and use the main theme CSS as the default reset, but needed to add a title attribute to it to make it work right. Made all the colors into separate CSS files, including the default one, and the problem was fixed.
