Lack of interest Add style name (or id) to html classes

[CyberAP]

If we make some modifications to styles via extra.css then all our child-styles inherit them if they don't have modified extra.css already. But if our styles are very different (for example: different #QuickSearch positioning) it may cause some extra tweaking, that means modifying every style extra.css template each time we want to change something. But if we have style name or id in the head classes we can just type in: html.default {} and then apply changes to any style with only one template.

Why can't you use the content div?

div#content.template_name{
code
}

How do you want to change Search Bar position using content div?

If you want to change it on forum list:
div.forum_list #quickSearch{

}

We are talking about different things.

If they're very different, I'm not sure it makes sense to set them up in a hierarchy.

It sounds like your parent style is a base (not necessarily complete) style, so why not do what we do with extra.css for it? Have your extra.css include extra2.css and make it blank in the base style, and just modify extra2.css in the child style.

Every style is a modification of Default style, so they all have similar classes.

Well, that's a good idea. Thanks!
