I have no clue how to change the css files.
I have turned off css compression...
but when I do inspect element...
the page is still referring to the compiled css files.???
As for the code itself, we recommend that you create custom CSS files and simply override the original CSS for any content elements you desire.
Please see these links to better understand how to create your own custom CSS file for our newer LESS templates:
