So i'm one of those guys that did a lot of custom work on my site - so although the new stuff is all great, I can't jump right in.

It looks like my best bet is creating my own theme - I can see some CSS and HTML stuff in there.. but you just get a blank text box to put your CSS.

Is there any documentation about what CSS classes and ids are appropriate to make use of? or any theme creating documentation at all?

or is it possible to see an existing theme's CSS?

I'm hoping there is some documentation on this, or someone else has already deconstructed the new structure somewhat so I can get a jump start on doing that myself.

Any info anyone?

Thanks
Martin

    You can create your own theme right in the customizer, no css needed.

    If you do want to use css, drop in the css app in your footer and add the css as needed.
    For the class and id's, use WebDev add-on http://smu.gs/14F1Kx3

    Thanks Rich, but the CSS you can add there can only affect the html you add there too, since you prefix it all with the widget number - so you can't drop in a CSS block to style anything outside of the thing you are adding.

    If you change CSS in the theme dialog box, the couple of things I tried just got overridden by some global css.

    How can I style my left nav bar exactly how I would like it? Rather than just the things in your dialog box
