Custom CSS/HTML in non-default theme (without component)

[Canapin (Coin-coin le Canapin)]

Hey Bastiaan

@bquast

However, I want to see what my community members think, but I use the theme zeronoise, which does not have the Edit CSS setting.

My question now is, wouldn’t it be useful if Discourse had a way to tinker a bit with CSS, the way it is possible if you set the theme Default.

You can’t edit the HTML and CSS of an “external” theme/component directly because changes would be overwritten when the theme/component is updated. It was still possible about two or three years ago, but this feature was removed.

You can create a local new component directly into Discourse’s interface to override the CSS of your existing theme (from the component’s CSS tab), or create a new component as a GitHub project that you will update through the component page (“update” button each time the repo is modified).

Do I understand well what you want to do and does this reply to your questions?
