 * Hello,
    I noticed that whatever you set in the customizer, these settings are
   applied inline, which results in quite long inline styles if you change a lot
   of the default values. Also, it makes it difficult to add additional media query
   styles in the child theme css since the customizer settings are inline and can’t
   be overridden in the child theme.css…would it be possible to not have the customizer
   settings applied inline?

 * Hi [@andi0tx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andi0tx/)
 * Suki uses internal CSS (via `<style>` tag in the `<head>`) to apply the modified
   settings CSS. And yes, it could be quite long if you did a lot of modification
   on the Customizer.
 * We have an idea to make all settings CSS saved in a static CSS file for faster
   rendering. But this feature is not yet in our near release roadmap, and we might
   include this functionality as a premium module along with other optimization 
   features. Currently, we don’t have further details on this.
 * About the Child Theme CSS, you should use our starter child theme. It already
   includes the right “hook” to enqueue the child theme CSS after the parent theme
   CSS and settings CSS.
 * You can download our starter child theme on GitHub: [https://github.com/sukiwp/suki-child](https://github.com/sukiwp/suki-child)

 * Hello,
    thank you for your reply. It would be great if you could include the 
   settings in an external file, I know several themes which do this by default.
 * Regarding the child theme: I am using the child theme you are providing, but 
   still, additional css does not get applied when you already hace settings in 
   the customizer. For example: I set my h1-page title styles in the customizer.
   Now I want to specifically target my h1 above 1600px, so I use a media query 
   but it does not get applied becuase the h1- inline styles from the customizer
   settings are used.

 * Sure, we would implement this in the future.
 * Regarding the Child Theme: you’re right. Looks like you have to use `!important`
   on your CSS. We would improve this in the future.

 * Yeah, and that’s definetely NOT how it should be…
 * So would you currently suggest copying the inline styles from page source and
   moving them into the child theme’s css instead? It’s around 1200 lines…

 * No, you can keep the internal CSS as it is.
 * I meant the custom CSS in the Child Theme. You can use `!important` on each your
   custom CSS to make it in higher priority than the generated internal CSS.

 * Yeah, I understand, that’s what I meant: Using !important is not really the best
   way to write css…
 * The thought of adding the inline css into the child theme and reseting the customizer
   was for performance reasons…do you think it would increase performance?
 * By the way, I just noticed that changing h3 line height in the customizer does
   not get applied (I checked the h3 in the blog grid title) and it’s still the 
   default 1.5 em. Also, when you change header, footer or content padding to em
   instead of px, and then later you come back to the customizer, the values arestill
   correct, but instead of em it displays px.

 * The generated settings CSS is processed on every request. If you moved the generated
   inline CSS into the Child Theme’s style.css, it will be faster on the backend
   side, although it’s not really noticeable, just a few milliseconds.
 * On the other hand, this means your page will have an additional request on the
   frontend which the Child Theme’s style CSS.
 * I would check the h3 and unit issue.

 * Hi [@andi0tx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andi0tx/)
 * Just checked the h3 line height, it works fine. Did you know that blog grid title
   can be separately configured in “Small Title”? Maybe you have configured the 
   Small Title line height.
 * About the unit issue, we will fix it in the next release.
