      Hi guys! Been messing around with MM on my PI4 and loving it.

      Been reading a lot on customizing the interface (specifically fonts), and everyone is telling me to edit the custom.css file in the CSS folder. Only problem is I don’t have a custom.css file there (or anywhere in the folder structure).

      Is this something I have to create? How do I call the custom.css file to override the main.css file?

      Many thanks.

      Kyle

              Well damn… It worked and I am glad but what did I just do exactly? Make a new custom or what? Thanks for the quick reply.

                @Viperzee the initial custom.css is empty.
                the touch command will update the date/time on a file, and create the file if it is not there.

                if you had used the installation script, which I support, then it would have done the same thing
