Hi all I am looking at tweaking one of the built in sylesheets, but can’t see where it should go so that I can select it in the html option tab from the stylesheet dropdown when creating a new narrated website report. 1. The wiki suggests you create a new one in a new css folder: “copy one of the existing stylesheet in _$HOME/.gramps/css/_ . This directory doesn’t exist. You must create it before copying your future stylesheet” I tried creating that folder and adding a renamed copy of an existing css, but I don’t see it in the dropdown list. 2. The wiki also suggests that it goes into a css folder in the plugsin folder: “Please place the css file in your plugins css directory and select it from the reports Stylesheet option found on the [Html options] tab.” I created a css folder in plugins, and placed a copied css stylesheet into it but but that did not seem to work either. I closed and restarted Gramps each time, in case it needed to pickup the location, but no luck. Is there another place for a custom stylesheet? I am using Windows 10, GrampsAIO64-5.1.2-1. John ---

Hi John You are on Windows so the folder will be with your user files. c:\users%you%\appdata\roaming\gramps\css In Windows, the AppData will be hidden by default. To have it work, make sure that the css file has a unique name different than the default Gramps options. Once the file is in the folder, you will need to relaunch Gramps for it to be seen ---

Thanks DaveSch, That worked, I can see my new css file in the dropdown. ---

Version 5.2.1 includes a change for the default Adwaita theme: One change was in Windows AIO installer build: install of the icons was pruned to the 16x16, 32x32, and cursors. Meanwhile, Gramps was looking at the wrong directory. “fullcolor: low res only at 16x16, lean onto the scalables for everything else” - we were looking for a 32x32 directory. In addition, Nick noted… > We have a `/usr/share/gramps/gramps.css`, but users should only change it if they know what they are doing. > > Most users should just download a theme from [https://www.gnome-look.org](https://www.gnome-look.org) and install it. Gramps will just use the active Gnome theme. ---

The custom CSS stylesheets originally referenced were the css files utilized by the narrative web. Not any css files utilized to create and display the Gramps GUI. ---

OK. Thanks. Just have to find the correct thread to move this to. (It is a high class problem to have too much forum data to peruse.)
