Ease of customization improvements
...
Even if you know HTML and CSS it can be fairly difficult to customize the look and feel of your Roller-based blog. You might know what HTML and CSS need to be added or changed, but figuring out where exactly to make changes in themes can be difficult. In this release, we're addressing that problem in several ways.
First, we've rearranged the Roller user-interface and moved the theme-chooser and template editing pages to their own tab.
Style-sheet overrides To make it easy for folks to change theme colors and fonts, we've introduce the notion of a style-sheet override for each theme. Roller themes can now include a style-sheet override file and if you want to set your own colors and fonts, that's the place to add and change CSS. The proposal for this new feature is here Proposal Stylesheet Overrides for Weblogs and the corresponding issue is here ROL-1368.
