Which file to make theme CSS changes in?

Asked by jsherk

I have decided make some changes to the CSS of the theme and have had to modify the following files:
/themes/cloud/css/forms.css
/themes/cloud/css/grid-fluid.css
/themes/cloud/jquery/css/smoothness/jquery-ui.css

Of course I have copied it to my own theme name, but I still would rather make changes in one file than a whole bunch. It looks like general.css is always the last css file loaded in. Can I make all my mods in that file, or is there another file I should consider?

I think general.css would be the best place, but just want to make sure.

Thanks

CSS rules are always applied "in order", that means the last one take precedence. The best way would then be to create a new file "my_styles.css", add your changes inside it, and add an html link to it in your html header.

As a general rule don't alter files from the distribution, because they will be overwritten on next update.

Oh yes, I never thought of files being overwritten!
Thanks
