      @1a2a3a install the (free) bitvise or winscp clients on windows, enable ssh on pi
      and then you can edit on windows with double click on the file interface window they provide . bitvise also has a drag/drop window to copy files in either direction…

      on windows I use Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code as the editor…

      I NEVER edit ON the pi… EVER… I use ssh or one of the graphical tools…

      on Linux I use the Caja file manager as it can link to ‘servers’ (ssh systems) and provide the same file manager interface

        THANK YOU both! the gap body code is exactly what i needed and bitvise helps a plenty!

        Sam, do you mean i copy the code over from pi to pc > then simulate pc to run the mirror in dev mode and edit the css on the pc > then copy the css code from pc back to pi?

          @1a2a3a no ,
          open any browser connected to mm, in developer mode, (so chrome on your PC viewing mm page, and editor on PC editing custom.css via bitvise directly)

          and you can set styles on any element to see it’s effect

          then can add those to custom.css and refresh

          see

            @sdetweil hmmm, i have been editing in the module css instead of the custom css. any undesirable consequences? also, whats the button to press for refresh? i keep doing ctrl c and npm start for refresh.

              Don’t do edit module’s CSS ever at all. It will be problem on module update.
              Instead, override them in your css/custom.css

                @1a2a3a refresh

                if the cursor is over the mm part of the page, ctrl-r
                if the cursor is over the developers window part, f5

                never edit any module provided file, or any mm provided file

                custom.css is designed to enable override of any css.

                    @1a2a3a in each place (mm folder/ module folder) do

                    git diff
                    

                    it will show you the changed content

                    then copy that to custom.css

                    when complete, in each place do

                    git checkout xxx
                    

                    xxx is the filename to restore
                    main.css or module_name.css

                        @sdetweil hey Sam can I know your vnc tool? Or rather the problem I’m facing now is that I’m using tiger vnc. My pi monitor is vertical. Pc Monitor is horizontal. When I vnc from the pc it shows vertical but my mouse is in horizontal mode so I can’t control it properly to do my css.
