The STYLE.CSS file is pointing to a basic layout:</p> <p>/* Apply a basic layout */<br /> @import url('../thematic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css');</p> <p>HOWEVER - I do not want to use the 2c-r-fixed.css as it is. I want to slightly adjust it, should I:</p> <p>1. edit the ../thematic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css directly?<br /> 2. Create a new LAYOUT file and store it in ../thematic/library/layouts/ also?<br /> 3. Create a new Layouts sub folder under my child theme, duplicate the basic layouts into that folder and edit there?</p> <p>Whats best practise for this?<br /> Aidan </p>
