The only thing common across every single theme’s style.css file is the syntax of CSS. Everything else is up to how the author codes. That’s probably why there isn’t a Codex article on it
The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

If you are trying to code HTML/CSS, it would probably be a good idea to get a good understanding of them.
There are lots of guides available, here is one for CSS:
