Hi there, firstly please excuse my ignorance, I am a yooTheme customer trying out a RocketTheme template for the first time, so I am familiar with the very simplistic approach to customising templates with yootheme.
When I say customising the teomplate I don't mean by playing around with the Gantry interface, I mean actually changing css etc.
With yootheme (sorry to keep mentioning them!), in order to customise my template I simply create a new style, then in that style I put in a new stylesheet, and this overrides anything coming from the existing template styles / CSS.
I am playing around with your Hexeris template, and would like to start getting into the CSS and changing things around to how I want them.
I can see within the main template folder there is a css-compiled folder but all the stylesheets in there look like they have been compressed, so I am guessing I shouldn't be editing those.
I can also see a 'less' folder - I am guessing this is where I need to start?
I am unfamiliar with LESS but am sure I could pick it up pretty quickly.
Lets say for instance I want to change the width and height of the logo that displays on my site. So I look on firebug and I can see the id 'rt-logo'.
How do I go about editing the CSS for 'rt-logo'
I have tried looking on your documentation but I can only seem to find instructions on how to edit things via the gantry interface, but I want to know how to do proper customisation.
Thanks for your help,
Keith

You have to create custom css file and override template styling in it.
This is how you create a custom CSS file...
www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...custom_stylesheet.md
When we release upgrades template files will change and you will have to reapply all your changes again (that's if you can remember where they all are). If you keep your changes in a separate Custom CSS file you'll have no issues upgrading.
