Please note: Stylesheets should be as accessible as possible. We may not use stylesheets that are very hard to read, hide important elements, contain any offensive or derogatory elements, or alter our texts in significant ways.

Unsure how to start work on a theme?

Here's our current suggestion on how to work on a new theme stylesheet without needing a playground, until that's completed!

  • Go to the homepage, right-click the background, and select "View Source."
  • Copy the entire thing and paste into your editor of choice. Save as index.html.
  • Edit index.html and add this code after the base.css tag: <link id="themeTarget" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="NAMEOFYOURCSS.css">
  • Create a new .css file in your editor of choice, save as aforementioned NAMEOFYOURCSS.css.
  • View index.html file in your browser of choice, visiting file address as the web address, like C:/User/FOLDERNAME/index.html.
  • Edit NAMEOFYOURCSS.css with your CSS changes.

At the same time, compare to the base.css file to see what classes are being used.
