[support] Custom menu theming

[Jean Gazis]

How do I figure out which of the style sheets I need to modify for any given
element and in what order they are applied? My theme (aberdeen) has several
and some elements have bits of css on more than one style sheet. I made
changes in one place and they don't always seem to "take."

Should I need to modify the system.css and others or just the style.css?
Will it cause problems if I modify the system.css or others?

Jean
