Editing the pro.css sheet

[strategicblend 0]

I may still be ignorant as to how the pro.css stylesheet should work - or how the "Pro" child theme works within the context of platform pro... but, I find I have to add "!important" on almost every style I add to pro.css. I would think this wouldn't be necessary and pro.css would be called to override the main style.css sheet or theme settings. Is this an incorrect assumption?

Yes! You shouldn't be editing pro.css because next time you upgrade, you'll loose all your changes. Read the docs to know why you should work with a child theme. Ricardo

Thanks Ricardo - where is base.css found? I don't see it in the core theme folders.

you should download the platformbase child theme, activate it, then add your custom css to the css file in platformbase's folder.

Thanks Simon, but easier said then done... Not seeing anything on the pagelines site called Platform Base. Also, if I activate Platform Base - wouldn't my platform pro theme framework then be de-activated?

PlatformBase is a child theme, it automatically inherits platforms settings. Its available in the downloads section of LaunchPad.

What/where is launchpad? Im a bit annoyed this isn't included in the framework.....not really user friendly or "out of the box"

Ahh thanks! So the documentation you provided earlier mentions a base.css file - that's not currently present in the Base Theme folders. Has that been changed since the documentation was released?

Yes, the 1.4 releases have no base.css. I usually advise people to add new styles to platformbase/style.css and overrides to PlatformPro Settings > Custom Code > Custom CSS Code Ricardo
