 * Just a quick and probably easy question for someone to answer;
 * I need to fiddle with the CSS for the calendar widget, but I can’t find it. Either
   I can’t find it or I’m looking in the wrong place. I guess my question could 
   also be stated as;
 * Does my theme’s CSS control how the events calendar widget looks or is there 
   a CSS file in the events-manager directory that handles all that.
 * I need to make the font used for the days of the week (numbers) larger and change
   the color of the days that have events associated with them.
 * Aside from that, LOVE your plugin!

 * I actually did not find either of CSS for the calendar.
 * But with firebug or another, we find the class:
    widget.widget_em_calendar em-
   calendar-wrapper calnav.em-em-prev-calnav month_name etc …
 * So just to create a child theme for wordpress and play with the class in new 
   CSS file?

 * for reference only; you can see that in /events-manager/includes/css/events_manager.
   css at around line 101 then use your theme style.css for modification.

 * jetpack has a neat feature to add custom CSS to your theme header, so you could
   use that instead and avoid hacking files or creating a child theme just for a
   few lines of CSS (although a perfectly viable solution if you need to do more)

 * Thanks for the feedback. I am downloading Jetpack as I type this and will investigate
   all options.
 * Thanks again.

 * very time agelonwl is suggesting to use themes stylesheet file for events_manager.
   css customization, but I’ve came to problem (in my theme) it doesn’t override
   EM css file. Opposite happens- events_manager.css is overriding my style.css 
   every time..
 * What could cause that?

 * I am using templates for calendar-full and calendar-small
 * I rewrited probably most of /* Calendar Styles */ in events_manager.css might
   be not the cleanest but does the job. Tried to copy them into my themes style.
   css after last update but it events_manager.css still overrides snippets from
   themes style.css
 * You can take a look here [http://freeskate.lv/sacensibas-pasakumi](http://freeskate.lv/sacensibas-pasakumi)
   and try to override and see what happens

 * Sorry, I don’t understand what you want to say, what are you trying to do exactly
   as change, as integration look correct ?

 * try to edit your theme header.php and move your style.css includes after wp_head
 * what happens is your theme style.css loads first before EM css and maybe that
   is why EM overrides your custom calendar css

 * R-one, I am trying to add custom style to Events Manager small and full calendars.
   Every time I update Events Manager it replaces events_manager.css with new file.
   As I understand, I have to copy my new snippets to my themes style.css so it 
   would override events_manager.css calendar snippets.. The problem is- it doesn’t.
   Events_manager.css overrides my calendar snippets in style.css
 * I don’t know how to explain it differently..

 * Do you use a Child theme for your change ?
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * It’s my solution for modify or add fonction to my blog, and i can update plugin
   or “parent” theme. And all my changes are preserved.
