 * You’ll need to be more specific than that – but first off, you should not be 
   making any changes to that file directly – as they will be overwritten when the
   theme is updated. Instead use a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or custom CSS option or plugin (JetPack is a good option). Then you can make 
   changes that will override the existing styles.
 * After you have one of the above options set up, if you provide more specific 
   information about what you are trying to do and a link to your site, someone 
   may be able to help you.

 * Try asking on the theme’s dedicated forum: [http://alienwp.com/support/](http://alienwp.com/support/)
   
   You may get a faster & more informed response there.

 * Don’t edit the style.css of the main theme. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   Or use a custom CSS plugin.

 * In the new version 0.5 style.css is no longer used. simply rename it to style.
   min.css and delete that existing file prior to this.

 * Yes, create and use a child theme for all theme customisations. Do not edit the
   original theme stylesheet. In the child theme’s style.css, import either style.
   css or style.min.css:
 * `@import url("../oxygen/style.min.css");`
 * And then add your custom CSS.
