Well, I apologise IF I don't get this correctly, but the above does  
NOT seem to solve my issue.  Put simply it's like this:

The default TM Support .css file has black text on white background.

IF I would like this to be Red text on a green background (not  
really, just example) then my version should over-ride the default.

The above seem to indicate that I should just have another copy of  
the Support stuff from the SVN locally, and that needs to be updated  
on a regular basis in order to stay ahead of your version in the app.  
It would also seem to mean that I would have to inflict my version of  
the .css on everyone else, just to have the version that I like.

Did I get that correctly ?  IF so, then a much better version would  
be to look for the local Support dir / file and IF found then use  
that, else use the default version regardless of version number or  
anything like it.

Just my 2 pence.

Kind regards,

Mats
