Hi Steve, This documentation page is actually documenting two approaches with different purposes, now I realize section titles aren't quite clear and this may cause confusion, sorry about that!
1. The first approach is simply about adding custom styles to your magnolia app, and should fit your case just fine. The important part in the doc is the configuration snippet and the following paragraph: [quote]The system will look for a Vaadin theme stylesheet that should be in src/main/resources/VAADIN/themes/orange/styles.css (or .scss). The style sheet should use the same pattern as Vaadin theme. You can also use SASS. Magnolia will inject this stylesheet into the document's head when the app is started, using Vaadin's CSSInject addon. It will also add a CSS class name to the app container div element, such as app-orange.[/quote] 2. The second approach on the other hand is more about customizing the Magnolia admincentral, and is done at webapp level, hence the magnolia.properties. Indeed here the property defaults to 'admincentral', but one could change it to a new Vaadin theme that would absolutely have to include our 'admincentral' Sass mixin, and add some customization there. This option is also documented as a workaround for certain use cases where approach 1 is not enough (basically custom styles when the app is not started), but is not perfect either. In particular it does not fit cases where you want to make an app or module shippable, because users would have to edit their magnolia.properties manually anyway. As a quick status, we are more looking into reducing the limitations of option #1, but as far as I see you should be pretty much covered with it as is.
