The website has a blog and I want to make a font a bit larger. How do I find the right CSS to change?
I used to do it in WordPress. You would just go inspect element, find .body and change font-size to 16px or whatever you want.
In Magento2 everything is in line 2.
Answer: You need to install gulp. After you install gulp you have to find where he stores his CSS. After that you need to run gulp so he can process it and viola.
The answer to your question is :
You should not edit/modify files within pub/* or vendor/* directory.
Pub is for deployment and vendor is for default structure, which you
override via your template or custom modules. Instead:
create a new theme inside app/design/frontend/{vendor}/{yourTheme}/. You can use Blank or Luma
theme. You can also create new theme which inherites from Blank
(inheritance is defined within theme.xml). If you are already using
some theme then skip this step.
edit .less within your theme so the changes stay visible and don't get replaced when clearing the cache or upgrading the system.
Use grunt to compile your .less into deployment files.
You can also setup sourcemaps to pin point your styling within the theme .less files so you can be more productive.

Personally i would advise you not to modify an installed theme, because after an update you will probably need to do it again.
If you know some CSS it should not be hard to make it in another theme.
Does it help ?

What is this yellow-orange color bar at the top of Sublime Text?
Hi all,
I've used sublime text before, but last time I used it I think I tinkered with the theme among other things, but I cannot figure out what this orange bar is at the top of the window or how to remove it. I've looked at the documentation but I've had no luck.
TIA
That image is the placeholder image that Sublime uses when a theme references a texture image whose underlying image file can't be found. That can happen if the file is missing or if the .sublime-theme file is using the wrong name, for example.
The only way to get rid of it is thus to either:
Fix the theme to use the correct image name
Put the missing image in place
Switch to an alternate theme (e.g. Default or Adaptive, which ship with Sublime)
If you're using a custom theme it should be an easy thing to check your sublime-theme file to see what images it's referencing and compare that to images you've added to the theme package to see what's missing.
The most expedient would be the theme switch to one of the ones that ship with Sublime.
If you're already using one of those two themes and you're having this problem, then the issue is that you're augmenting the existing theme and causing it to break. In that case, there are two things to check.
Use Preferences > Browse Packages from the menu or command palette; do you see a folder named Theme - Default? If so, move it away, the files in it are overriding the default themes (including Adaptive; they're both in the same package).
Using the same command as above, look in the User package; look for sublime-theme files and move them away; such files will be combined with other files of the same name, which allows you to add rules to an existing theme in a way that could be breaking it.
How can i change menu color or submenu color in sugarcrm 6.5.0 RC1 CE ?
I am changing in themes/Sugar5/css/style.css file but it is being not changed.
Place your CSS modifications in custom/themes/default/css/style.css and ensure you run a Repair & Rebuild once your code is in place. Make sure the file and all dirs leading to it have appropriate permissions.
If it's not working after that, use Chrome's developer tools to see if your CSS is properly loading at all and see how it's affecting the elements you're working on.
See the themedef.php file in the theme folder. You need to make the colour changes in this file.
However, first turn the developer mode on from Admin>Settings to avoid the cache issue.
I can't seem to figure out how to change the menu color or add a background to the menu bar in Gantry 4 for Joomla. Tired of the gray or dark gray default.
I could change the font and selection through the .less file but not the menu itself.
The documentation on the Gantry website is too general.
Thank You in advance.
Also check: menu-light.less & menu-dark.less in the less\ directory.
The folks at RocketTheme don't recommend editing the compiled CSS (but it works great as #Adriana pointed out).
Hi Gantry framework for joomla as you probably notice uses Less to really understand how to change things on the template you first have to learn how less works even that Gantry compiles the less files for you. Less it is fantastic so it worth it. Basically you use a code to define css in a clever way much more economic and then you compile this into more efficient css files
If you change the compiled files as our friends are saying here make not sense at all because as soon you compile again (and you will) this files will be override and all your work lose.
I will give you the direction and you will see that it is not that difficult as look.
1- check the menu you had selected on your Gantry template under Templates Manager - Style - menu style.
2- on your less folder you will see a less file for each of the menu styles with the main variables
for example menu-dark.less try to make sense of the variables and the colors and change them to see what is what.
3- on the same folder you have menu.less and there is where the magic is done using the variables from the previous file. You will see that for example define first level of menu you will have something like:
&.l1 {
> li.active {
background: #menuActiveBack;
So that menuActiveBack variable will be the background value of the active li of the level 1.
4- the last part will be the menu-hovers.less that i thinks it is over complicate things because it is not a need to have a different file to do the hovers but there it is.
You can control CSS compression, Compile Wait Time and Debug Header, as well as manually clear the cache with the Clear Cache button at Extensions → Template Manager → gantry → Advanced → Less Compiler.

Hope it helps to start with....
Happy coding,

it took me a while maybe half an hour to go through the "menu" css file in the "css-compiled" folder.
You can find all the css to alter the background and colors of Gantry's default menu.. I'm using Gantry v4 also.
Go here:
Joomla>templates>gantry>css-compiled>menu-675c76.....
Please view my image to see my results:

Use FireBug or similar to find the default CSS styling.
Create a file /templates/gantry/css/gantry-custom.css and add your own CSS to override the default CSS.
This is a better method than editing compiled or other template less or css files which can be overwritten during compilation or when the template is updated.
New to Orchard in that I just started to play around with it in the past few days. My question is about customising a theme (in this instance the Bootstrap one that can be installed from the gallery)
I tried to have a look and see if there was a non-source code way of doing it but was unable to find this way of doing it so I went spelunking through the theme folder and edited the Layout.cshtml file myself. Is this 'wrong' or is there another 'supported' way of doing it?
What I specifically wanted to do was to have the logo to the left and the menu to the right (see here for the OOB behaviour) and this was the way that I achieved it.
I'm sure if there are any updates to this theme then the customisations will be overwritten hence the question about a supported way to achieve this.
What you may want to do is look up Derived themes, you should create a new theme based off the theme you're modifying, then you can just modify the parts you want, and if the original theme needs updates or w/e you can update it without overwritting all your changes. I'm pretty sure this is the way you should be doing it.
This page should describe how that is done
http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Customizing-the-default-theme
This is how themes are customized.
I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.
Look in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
Uninstall Notepad++
Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says "Don't use %APPDATA%..... "
Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called "themes" and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the "Select theme:" drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
If you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
C:\Users\NAME-OF-COMPUTER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\TheThemeYouModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\choco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check "Don't use %APPDATA%....." when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
In case this helps someone in the future, if you installed Notepad++ via Scoop then look for your themes directory here:
D:\Users\yourusername\scoop\persist\notepadplusplus\themes
