missing custom.css file

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 yes… easier just to do the touch thing… create an empty file… (for users just starting out)

@sdetweil

Yes. if you know about the touch thing. I did not. Now I do.

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 or just editing and use save as

@sdetweil

Or, have a blank custom.css file added during installation. Easier for the users just starting out. ;-)

@Mykle1 true… easy peasy… done (in my script…)

FWIW, I wouldn’t put a “blank” custom.css…

I’d put at the top of main.css

/***********************
* Magic Mirror   
* Main CSS  
*
* Do not edit this file, make changes to custom.css instead. 
*
***********************/

and in custom.css

/***********************

@BKeyport main.css is owned by the project. Submit a pull request to update that.

The comment in custom.css does not add anything in my opinion.

I know that from a beginning user standpoint, having any user files point you to help would ease a lot of people. I’m just thinking of the person who heard of this project and decided to try it out because Pi’s are cheap, and it looked like a challenge (Me!) - I sure the heck didn’t know where I could get help at first, and have learned so much from here.

Sorry for resurrecting this but I think an empty custom.css should be part of the default install. There are errors in the console log when it is missing.
