How to change CKAN default css

Question

I am using CKAN runnin on docker 2.8.1 version, and i want to change some default css of ckan without creating new theme/plugin etc.. as documentation sugest because i am having issues with it.

If it is possible to change css of CKAN without creating my own what files i should change, since i change for example main.css nothing happens i try to change .less files also nothing happens. In my case i wanted to change color but no matter what i changed color would stay same.

It is clear to me that i am doing something wrong bug hard to pin point what, i even try using paster css, paster less(i get error here).

If some alredy changed this aspects could u please point me out in right direction.

Thanks.

This depends on how you want to change the look and feel of CKAN web interface. If it's a simple change of logo, about or intro text, some custom css and style you can use ckan admin option. For more info check the customizing look and feel

If you need more advanced changes for e.g new templates, overriding existing once etc follow the theming guide
