How can I make theme mobile-friendly, and change some text on my site?

FindPlayers

Hi everyone,

I just started using Vanilla. I've heard a lot about it and decided to give it a whirl.

However, I have some questions.

I found a nice theme called Apptastic (https://vanillaforums.org/addon/apptastic-theme) and I want to change a few things about it.

First off, I want it to be mobile friendly! If there is no quick way to make this theme responsive, I could just theme the default mobile theme to match it. I know CSS.

However, I am not sure which CSS file I should be modifying. The min.css or just .css? Or both?

Also, on my site FindPlayers.co, I want to change the text of the "New Discussion" button to "+ Find Players".

I also want to change the "All Categories" heading on the main page to "All Games".

Thanks so much in advance!

TL;DR:

How can I make Apptastic responsive?

What CSS files should I be tampering with to see immediate changes?

How can I edit the core Vanilla text such as "All Categories"?

Thank you!

I understand the mobile theme post, but I am in over my head about the changing of text...

You need a conf/locale.php file

if it is not already obvious.

you can create a conf/locale.php

all you need in /conf/locale.php

is

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
//then add any defintions you want.

In that, add

$Definition['New Discussion'] = '+ Find Players';
