Ove,

You will have to edit the css directly, not through the web interface.

What you are seeing is the correct behaviour as described in the basic theme tutorials:
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/how_to_create_a_roller
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/roller_themes_part_2

In particular, the reason you don't see the CSS in the web interface to edit is that the sunsets theme is not configured that way. To make a theme's CSS directly tailorable for individual users this has to be set in the theme.xml document.

For example, the sunsets theme.xml only makes the CSS files available as resources:

    <resource path="styles/simple.css" />

Whereas to be directly editable through the web interface the stylesheet needs the theme.xml to say something like:

  <stylesheet>
    <name>Override</name>
    <description>Stylesheet customizable</description>
    <link>simple.css</link>
    <templateLanguage>velocity</templateLanguage>
    <contentsFile>styles/simple.css</contentsFile>
  </stylesheet>

If you need the sunsets theme to be tailorable for other users then you should make these changes to the sunsets theme and then they can use the web interface to add their own styles.

So, overall, for personal use (assuming you are the administrator) you are best off editing the original css files directly.

I just installed the sunset-stylesheet. I then tried to customize it with the "Custom Theme" function. I choosed sunset and roller told me it copied it...

Problem is that when I hit "Stylesheet" menu I still see the "criterion" I used before. I seems like I'm only seeing the css stored in the database :(

Correct ??

Is there a workaround to get the correct css copied ??

Rgrds / Ove

BTW: Thanks for the help finding the sunset theme !
