CSS stylesheets link order
Hi,
I noticed recently that the visual themes were clobbering some of the CSS
styles I'd created. The maincss.css in the visual theme resets a lot of
styles, and the stylesheet link order defined in header.ftl loads custom
style sheets (i.e. those in layoutSettings.styleSheets) before the Visual
Theme maincss.css.
A couple questions if anyone has any insight:
1. I can "fix" this easily be changing the stylesheet link order in the
Visual Theme header.ftl to move layoutSettings.styleSheets after the Visual
Theme stylesheets. However, does anyone know if the original order was by
design and therefore changes may have unexpected consequences?
2. If the link order is by design, is the recommended approach to defining
custom styles to create a new Visual Theme?
Thanks!

Add your style sheets to the theme data in the database - via Web Tools
or the Entity Engine data loader:
<VisualThemeResource visualThemeId="FLAT_GREY"
resourceTypeEnumId="VT_STYLESHEET"
resourceValue="/path/to/my/custom/stylesheet.css " sequenceId="99"/>

Thanks, Adrian. You mean add something like the following in my application:
<set field="layoutSettings.VT_RTL_STYLESHEET[]"
value="/path/to/my/custom/stylesheet.css" global="true" />
?
Or actually hack flatgrey/data/FlatGreyThemeData.xml to include my custom
css?
Thanks!
