How to make template mods?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hello again, Bamboo folks. My question du jour with the Xero template is how to make mods to that are not directly supported by the UI in the template administration?

This may actually be a Joomla question; if so, feel free to point me elsewhere.

As an example, lets say that I wanted to change the background color header1 position. If just throw this at the end of the theme_dark.php (the theme I'm using)...

#header2{padding-bottom:30px;background-color:#FD7A22}

... it works, but of course gets overwritten when I make any other change that causes a .less recompile. Is there a safe and right way to do this sort of thing?

I thought maybe template overrides were the thing to do, but Joomla tells me one already exists.

Thanks,

ROTFL... that was the most polite RTFM I've ever received. :-)

Brilliant... looks perfect. Thank you so much.
