        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

        /***********************
         * Magic Mirror     
         * Custom CSS       
         *                     
         * Add your custom CSS here, for help, please go to http://forum.magicmirror.builders 
         ***********************/

          @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.

                @mmmmh if you use the automated installer, it will create an empty file

                  @sdetweil Thanks for the hint. I installed it manually. I guess the assumption is if you know how to clone you also know how to touch. : )

                    @mmmmh well, there is no damage if its not there, so, if you need it, you will create it…

                    i agree with you it should be there… there are quite a few new users that are following some
                    guide, and get to the ‘edit custom.css file’ step and its not there and they are lost. and don’t know what to do.
