How to Override CSS in Dolphin 7
Dolphin is an open-source, social website management tool developed by BoonEx. When building a website using such a tool, it is usually a good idea to modify the default template to give your site a unique look and differentiate it from other sites created with the same software. The most convenient way to alter a template's look is to edit its Cascading Style Sheets files. CSS files contain a list of page attributes, such as color, height and font, and user-defined values. You can override default CSS files in Dolphin 7 and add your own CSS tags by editing the program's settings.
