For the newbies among us, could someone please give a simple explanation of how to use the css options, and examples of the code format that we would use?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah... although Peter S is right, that site might be too much for a newbie...

I would recommend opening the style.css file and experimenting with it. Each section is well commented, and even a newbie if he/she puts the time, will be able to learn how things work.

Then you can head to the site Peter S suggested. To be honest, this subject is so vast that a simple explanation will not be enough. I might as well give a simple explanation to a newbie how to perform a root canal... not that simple.

In addition to above instruction

Basically CSS option is to insert your custom CSS that is not generated by Artisteer, you can also add a style that already exists in Artisteer CSS with !important tag and it'll override the Artisteer style.

One of the things that confuses me is it says: "CSS prefix"

So is this not normal CSS? Am I supposed to add the prefix to every line?

I don't get it.

This is just to change the prefix for all styles if you don't want the art- You don't need to worry about it otherwise.

My understanding anyway.

@ Adrianne

CSS Prefix is used to prevent any clash of common styles like body, page, h1 etc with the CSS of plugins.

By default Artisteer export themes using art- CSS prefix and you can change it to your custom one.
