Hello,
I wish to add a css file to a theme (which btw it's inherited from the skelvanilla one, but I also tried with an extended version of the vanilla one).

I put the css file inside upload/themes/survey/mytheme/css

Then I modified the config.xml file as follows:
(snip)
    <files>
        <css>
            <remove>css/ajaxify.css</remove>
            <remove>noto.css</remove>
            <remove>yiistrap.css</remove>
            <remove>bootstrap-slider.css</remove>
            <remove>awesome-bootstrap-checkbox/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox.css</remove>
            <remove>awesome-bootstrap-checkbox/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox-rtl.css</remove>
            <remove>css/noTablesOnMobile.css</remove>
            <remove>template-core.css</remove>
            <remove>css/theme.css</remove>
            <remove>css/custom.css</remove>
            <add>css/skelvanilla.css</add>
            <add>css/rita.css</add>
        </css>
        <js>
(snip)
I also added a reference to the file to each of the sections inside <screens>

The file is indeed shown in the editor BUT it is not loaded by the survey pages.
What did I miss?

Thank you.

Did you try resetting the theme after making the change?

Also, clear the assets in global configuration.

Else to have a better order in css , i didn't use this broken system

See : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyThemes/skel...ws/header/theme.twig

Hello,
Since I thought I didn't want to reset the theme (wouln't that delete the parts modified by me?) I tried at first to export and import again the theme, after having renamed the old one. This worked, though it yielded some errors ad first execution, which I am not able to reproduce. I think that export+import has something to do with tpartner's advice, hasn't it?

@Denis I think this is because I was using an old version of skelvanilla for this test.
This leads to a question that maybe I should ask in a new post. Is there a way to update a theme inplace inside LS5? I cannot delete the old skelvanilla because othere theme inherit from it. If I rename it (e.g. skelvanilla_old) and import a new skelvanilla, the inherited theme will keep their reference to the "skelvanilla_old" one.

Resetting the theme should reload the config.xml file incorporating your changes, not deleting them.

Thank you.
I'll post the other question in a new thread.
