You still need to override what is in rapid-ui.css. The cleanest way is to put ONLY the change into application.css, which is default empty. Hobo load this last, so whatever definitions are in application.css will take precendence. Take a look at this screen shot:

I am also not a CSS expert. We’re trying to make Hobo friendly for these kinds of things.

Things have changed in Hobo in the last year!

If there is please let me know and I’ll leave this feedback there. Otherwise, here is something I came across:

In Chapter three, tutorial two, figure 26, pages 38-39, I’m pretty sure the css file name/path has change a little, but it wasn’t a big deal to find what I think is the appropriate one (old was rapid-ui.css, new is hobo-rapid.css). However, I can’t seem to get the text field lengths to change no matter which textarea entries I modify in the css. Do I need to be editing a different file? I’m sorry, I tried to figure out the exact change to be made but I couldn’t, and I have very little CSS experience…

# I am pretty new to rails and very new to hobo, but all I can say is WOW! I was really excited when I found it, and even more excited when I found the book. VERY GOOD WORK! I hope you’ll keep it up, and I’ll help in any way I can (leaving feedback, etc.). I like the introductory chapter, and appreciate having the second chapter exclusively deal with installation (I skipped it since I already installed hobo).
