Topic.css overriding my dropdown styles

[chrisj]

I have an interesting issue where the Topic.css file that is generated during a build is including a duplicate style class for the dropdown arrows, which is overriding the images I want. It's somewhat hard to explain, but instead of replacing the existing style class with my options, it's just creating a new one, which is then made null by the existing defaults. Any chance there is an easy fix to this without putting in a script to set the styles I want?

Theoretically, the styles you create and/or modify *should* override topics.css. That being said, I've seen oddball cases where topics.css takes precedent for an unknown reason (support can't even give me a clear answer on that).

In those cases, I will add an !important declaration to the end of each property that is being overridden. For example

Code: Select all

p.my-style
{
    color: red !important;
    margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}

Not really ideal, but at least it works.
