Hello all. New to xenforo and love it so far. Sorry if this been posted already. I actually spent 30 mins searching the forum and couldnt find a good answer. Anyway just some info so you know how to word your answers. I am not a coder and dont have any skin knowledge. I wanted to create a style for my gaming forum that is dark so i created a new template using the default to start. I started by changing the colors in the color palette. I also did a lot of changes with borders and stuff all in the style properties. I did not do any of these edits in the CSS code itself. After spending hours trying to figure it out I came up with a good style to my interest. Pic Below.

Now on to my question. When i upgrade to a future version, will my colors reset? Any info on what will happen would be great.

thank you for the quick response. So for example, i do a template edit to add a sidebar and it says add this code after blah blah. The code that it says to add i just put in the extra.css?
 
Yep; if it's a CSS edit, you can add it to EXTRA.css instead of the original template--that way the templates can be upgraded with no interference.

For example, I wanted to change the color of the copyright link at the bottom of the forum, so instead of editing it within the footer.css template, I stuck this in EXTRA.css:
Code:
#copyright
	{
		color: @secondaryDarker;
	}

There's more information in that thread that will explain it better than I am, lol. :P

If it's an include to add another block to the sidebar for example, then that must be done in the template.

EXTRA.css can only be used for css.
