 * Hi,
 * i want to make a custom css for my gallery but i am not sure how to do it. Is
   there any way to get rid of the plugin’s styling, ignoring the settings in the
   wp backend and use a completely own css file?
 * thanks for the help

 * If you put a file named **wppa-style.css** in your ( child ) themes template 
   directory, this file will have precedence over the standard css file. This method
   is update safe.
 * You can override any element style in the generated code, by placing `!important`
   in your custom css. Example:
 *     ```
       .my-class {
       color: #77AA00 !important;
       font-size: 14px !important;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you for your response.
 * I found this solution before while using google but it does not seem to work.
   The newly placed file does not seem to have any effect at all.
    Placing a copy
   of wppa-style at wp-content->themes->mytheme and then changing a few things… 
   Isnt that correct?

 * Apparently that was the wrong place. Understood you now, thanks for your help
   🙂

 * You have to explicitly say that you are using a custom wppa-style.css file by
   ticking the box in Table IV-A16. This requirement is relatively new.
 * The file may be in your child theme or theme directory.
 * For more info see the function wppa_add_style() in wppa-non-admin.php line 26
