Custom CSS for Smooth Slider

Hello everyone,

I am battling with an issue concerning custom css skins for the Smooth slider plugin, I’ve been researching on the forum and couldn’t find the answer.

I want to use a custom css file, after some research I finally managed to create a new folder for my new skin, copy the functions.php and settings.php files in it and make it appear in the Smooth slider settingswithout having errors displayed.

Thing is, it won’t load the custom css file. When I give it a try with Firebug the good stylesheet is apparently loaded but none of the changes are applied. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Also, when I try to load ‘sample’ skin and apply the same changes it does work, but it is said in this stylesheet that it should not be modified (I suppose because it would be reset with updates).

Finally, when I try to load the ‘default’ skin and use the Custom styles box in the settings, nothing changes.

I run this wordpress locally for now with Wamp, and tests were made with simple changes like :
.smooth_slider{max-width:100%;min-height:350px;background-color:red;border:0px solid #dddddd;}

Thank you very much in advance for you help!
