/* File: custom.css Description: Custom styles for Thesis BASIC USAGE: If you have enabled the custom stylesheet in the Thesis options panel, the tag will be appended with the "custom" class, like so: . You can use the "custom" class to override *any* CSS declarations contained in the style.css file. For example, if you wish to change the default link color to green, you would add the following declarations to this file: .custom a, .custom a:visited { color: #090; } <--- This makes links green .custom a:hover { color: #00f; } <--- This makes links blue when you mouse over them WHY THIS WORKS: By using the "custom" class, you are creating more specific CSS declarations for HTML elements. CSS styling is applied through rules of specificity, and because declarations prepended with .custom are more specific, they get applied when the page is rendered!
