You need to make changes in the custom.css file of your theme in Vanilla.

If you are using the default Vanilla theme, follow these instructions to create a custom theme file:

Note: in your custom theme file, you only need to add rules for the things you want to change, so it could be as small as one single rule.

that is little bit advanced for me... all i can do with css is to edit colors.

There is nothing advanced, honestly.

css is typically held in an external stylesheet.

In Vanilla, this is normally the custom.css file in a theme's design folder.

If you are using the default theme, then you need to create a theme folder, design folder and custom.css file, which is what the link shows you how to do.

You then make any css changes you want in the custom.css file.

If you want to have a play with changes to Vanilla, I created an annotated_css theme which walks users through the typical changes people want to make in Vanilla 2.0.18.

is there any theme that changes look of comments to see how it works?

I'm not clear what you want.

The annotated_css theme I linked to shows the common changes you might want to make in Vanilla, including comments.

Each rule in the custom.css file has a comment with it to explain how it works/what it affects.
