Re: Custom CSS File - Compact CSS file.

[Christopher Zimmermann-2]

Hi Benny and List,

I've attached a simple extra stylesheet that compacts things in the vertical
dimension. See attached. Use instructions are in the file.

I also was not able to get the clean extensions version going of using a
custom stylesheet...
I tried tracing it - but failed. :)

So i followed Benny's advice and just copied the application.rhtml file from
Radiant into my extension and hardcode modified it to include my extension.
I realize this is fragile - If i upgrade to a new radiant version I will
need to check if application.rhtml has changed and recopy it into my
extension.

cheers, topher
