# Can't custmise theme

 * I’m new to WP and coding but on a steep learning curve. I’m using the Expound
   theme. I was wanting to change the gallery text and image borders but can’t find
   the css code.
 * The stylesheet is this:
 *     ```
       */
   
       @import url('css/reset.css');
       @import url('css/expound.css?v=20140129');
       ```
   
 * There’s a rtl.css sheet as well with coding but it doesn’t seem to relate to 
   general appearance. I did a CSS interrogation to help identify the relevant code
   which came up with:
 *     ```
       <style type='text/css'>
                           #gallery-2 {
                           margin: auto;
                           }
                           #gallery-2 .gallery-item {
                           float: left;
                           margin-top: 10px;
                           text-align: center;
                           width: 33%;
                           }
                           #gallery-2 img {
                           border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
                           }
                           #gallery-2 .gallery-caption {
                           margin-left: 0;
                           }
                           </style>
                           <!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php -->
       ```
   
 * After identifying “border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;” I then ran a “find” though the
   rtl.css code (in the absence of anywhere else to look) and could find anything
   matching. After reading up on templat hierarchy I decided in the absence of relevant
   code it was defaulting to WP.
 * Having already set up a Child theme in anticipation of being able to make some
   changes I input the following code string into the child theme style.css sheet:
 *     ```
       img {
       	border: 2px solid #000000;
       }
       ```
   
 * When that didn’t work I figured maybe I’d set up the child theme incorrectly 
   so I turned instead the Jetpack Custom CSS editor and tried the same code string
   there. Still nothing.
 * FYI…I can’t provide a link to the site as it is still in development and not 
   live. I’m self-hosting not with WP.
    Please help – this is driving me insane!
