Does the free Xenforo demo support CSS styling?

What it says on the tin. Since I can't buy the software, I'm using the free 7 day demo (I renew it whenever it expires), but I want to make my own custom themes (for free). Is it possible in the demo?

Yes it's a fully featured demo.

You will just need to make sure you export the style before the demo expires. You can then import it into a new demo.

Can I get a tutorial on these two things?

Appearance -> Styles -> click the three dots next to your theme -> Export as archive

Appreciate -> Styles -> Import button in top right

Thanks!

How do I go about making the css file though? Anything I should keep in mind?

XF doesn't really operate on a ton of static .css files you upload to the webserver directly. Check out this document here: https://xenforo.com/docs/xf2/styles/#colors

Appearance -> Style -> your style -> Style properties will let you define your colors/palette without having to modify a bunch of CSS directly.
Once you have your palette, click on Appearance -> Style -> your style -> Templates and start tweaking the .less templates to adjust accordingly.
