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

      @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!

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

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

                    @sdetweil

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