CSS Adjustments to Gin gin-custom.css (Since Alpha 31) • For quick overrides • Place in your public files directory: e.g. /sites/default/files/ • Great for small adjustments like changing Logo size etc. (no need for subtheming) Drupal Yorkshire Meetup June 2021 @saschaeggi
CKEditor styles [name_of_frontend_theme].info.yml • Define your stylesheet • True WYSIWYG experience
