Editing custom CSS in custom theme

0
Hi, I was editing the custom CSS file to test using the 'deployment' folder in order to make these changes permanent i read online that you need to edit the custom CSS file that sits within 'theme'. I currently have a custom theme in place that was made using the mendix theme creator. Ive tried unzipping the file editing the custom CSS sheet and then zipping it back up to be able to select it as the theme again after editing. This did not work and when i tried to run the app locally with the edited theme it did not register it and the theme appeared as default. Should this have worked? Any tips? Thanks

You should indeed unzip the theme from the theme creator. You only forgot one step before zipping the files again. You should compile the sass files again. See the documentation here: https://world.mendix.com/display/public/howto6/Setup+Mendix+UI+Framework+with+Koala or here: https://world.mendix.com/display/public/howto6/Create+a+custom+theme+with+the+Mendix+UI+Framework

You shouldn't have to unzip anything. By default there should be a custom.css under theme/styles/css/custom (or something along those lines).
