CSS
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets are used to control the way web pages look. By changing a CSS definition, the change is made on every Moodle webpage.
CSS files are located in the theme folder being used by Moodle. The normal Moodle practice is to have 3 main CSS files: styles_color, styles_layout, styles_fonts. When a CSS definition is not found in a theme CSS file, the CSS files located in the standard theme serves as the default.
