Personalize MOODLE - unique CSS styling for blocks

When trying to create custom CSS for my unique block content in Moodle, I encountered an issue where the platform would override my styles with those from the theme. Here is an example of the CSS code I used:

.block div.content {
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: 200;
    padding: 10px 15px 15px;
}

I attempted to add the following code to my blocks/status/styles.css file:

.block_status .footer { margin-top: 5px; }
.block_status .content { border:1px dotted green; overflow:hidden; padding:0px; }
.block_status div.cname { border:1px solid blue;padding:10px; }

Unfortunately, my custom CSS did not work as expected. Is there a way to create new, effective custom CSS for my block content? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

When it comes to Moodle, the CSS data is automatically condensed and united into a single file for quicker downloading by users.

If you want to modify the stylesheets, be sure to activate Theme Designer Mode, or clear all caches (Site admin > Development > Purge all caches) in order to see the changes take effect.
