missing custom.css file

[Gorman_ni]

hi, just got this up and running but for the life of me can’t find my custom.css file or figure out how to set one up correctly, i only have main.css in there. any help would be appreciated.

I am not an expert but I would name an empty text file to custom.css and put it in the css folder

[sdetweil]

@thedoorsfanatic right… to create the initial text file its

touch ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

then u can edit it…with your favorite editor

I just set up another laptop board. Used @sdetweil’s installer. Fantastic! Copied the main.css file and renamed it to custom.css. Done!

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 but that is sorta heavy weight . cause now you are overriding every class defined in main.css…

@sdetweil

Well, I emptied the body and deleted everything else. Did I forget to mention that? :-)

[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. ;-)
