Hi

I would like to request a local.css file.

The gang over a Roople themes started to add this.

Very, verty useful.

The webmaster makes his custom theme changes to the local.css file only.

Then way when revisions on the theme come out, they only repair bugs and the site custom tweaks are not over written.

thanks

that would be nice - does it in any way impact performance or css loading?

That would be very nice and would make upgrading the style.css easier when there are fixes.

I saw this was added to the oct 24 dev package. Does the local.css override css classes from the style.css stylesheet? For example there is a .picture class in the style.css file, if I have a .picture class in the local.css will it take priority?

what about css injector - is anybody using that module with acquia marina theme? i'm going to give it a whirl for imagefield padding and see how it works out...

The way I've seen this used and very mcuh like, is that it is the very last css file read - thereby using its defualts and replacing others.

@jwells - yes, but that still doesn't seem to help me with the ONE thing that i'm trying to use it for: putting imagefields inline with padding...it's a nightmare..can't figure it out...

Already committed - available in latest dev snapshot release.
Will be also available in the 6x-1.3 release soon.

The theme will come with an empty local.css. Please keep in mind that you should back up your local.css before you upgrade to a new release.

@MedicSean37, yes, the local.css will it take priority

very cool - wondering if anybody could offer a simple tutorial for it, or alternatively, i'm wondering if this would be a nifty way to gather contributiosn for this theme without putting up alternate versions

example: start a new thread here called "local.css tweaks and examples" and people could attach their versions of local and perhaps a screenshot and explain what modifications they've made - that would be cool stuff ;)

for example, if i can figure out how to get these friggin imagefields to display inline *with* padding, or or in rows instead of stacked with control for overflow or whatever, i'd gladly put up my copy of local.css for all others using imagefield/imagecahce with this theme and they could simply rename the field presets accordingly!!

Zilla,

This topic was about a local.css file.

maybe opening a support request for "putting imagefields inline with padding" might be more fruitful?

but I will offer a trick

if you can't seem to get the padding to work, rework the image and add a trasnparent space to the image

thanks - will open a separate issue (really in imagefield btw, not here ;) - but per the space, you mean a call to a transparent space for all images (in the css i'd just create a style for each of my image presets in this case, by field name, that was how i saw a few folks going after this)

nope, make the image "bigger" by adding white space to the right or left side - using a graphic editor

@jwells - oh, i know what you mean, i meant for users, not just admin ;)
