# Custom theme CSS not working

 * I copied over the theme directory from Sunshine into my Custom theme directory
   as instructed by the Sunshine Docs and named it “sunshine”. I can alter all the
   template files just fine and they will change the look of my gallery. But when
   I alter the CSS file in that same directory nothing changes. When using chrome
   inspection tool I see that my custom CSS is not even being loaded. This plugin
   is still using the CSS file from the main theme in the sunshine plugin directory
   not my custom theme folder. This is not good cause when I update the plugin the
   CSS will be overwritten. Why is it not grabbing the CSS file from the custom 
   sunshine theme folder but it grabs the template files from that folder just fine.

 * Sunshine does not pull the CSS file from there, that would need to be done in
   your theme’s CSS file. I will look at making this change though.

 * In fact, that was a simple change, this change will be in the next release.
