yeah the files are in a sub-folder called styles so i tried to take the file of the skin i was using and placed it in the main folder where the styles/custom.css to see if it would show up and it still didn’t.
as of now, i have a copy of the css file on my desktop and i’m making customizations as i’m using firebug. i then save and upload it to my server which is working, it’s just really inconvenient.
