 * Hey there, I encountered a problem using Simple Custom CSS and Spun theme: Whatever
   changes I make in the custom stylesheet, they work perfectly in the desktop view,
   but have no effect whatsoever on the mobile view.
 * According to the theme’s css, the “intermediate steps” that affect the layout
   are devices with max-width 1200px, max-width 800px and 600px. However, in any
   of these sizes, the layout switches back to default. I checked the classes within
   the three respective media styles (in the theme css), and the classes that I 
   had changed before are not even in there. So, as I understand, my changes should
   be applied to any view because they are global.
    Update: I tried to make changes
   directly into the theme’s stylesheet (in the respective classes that I needed
   to modify) and this worked. So now I’m guessing this is a custom css related 
   problem, not a theme problem. Well. Most likely, it’s a user related problem —
   which is why I’d appreciate any help! 🙂 I’d really like to be able to use a 
   child stylesheet, and not modify the default stylesheet directly. Thanks a lot!

 * uhm. Nevermind.
    For anyone as stupid as me, here’s the solution: Apparently,
   for a looong while I successfully forgot about and ignored the first line in 
   my custom stylesheet:
 *     ```
       @media all and (min-width: 1201px) {
           #main {
               width: 60%;
               margin: 0 auto;
           }
       ```
   
 * So of course, all my changes were applied not global, but _only_ to 1201px devices
   and more. I put the line at the end of the custom css file, and now everything
   works like a charm.
    Sorry for bothering you!
