 * I’m having a nightmare with NextGEN gallery.
 * This part of their documentation states that you can use a custom stylesheet:
 * [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/)
 * So I followed the instructions given and have successfully created a new stylesheet,
   which I can now see in my Gallery Options through the dashboard. I’ve selected
   to use this new stylesheet.
 * However, some of the changes I want to make are not getting through because the
   basic custom styling for the NextGEN gallery has !important chucked on the end
   of every statement. So when I use this new stylesheet I’ve created, it just gets
   overwritten by the !important styles from the plugin.
 * What’s the point in adding this option to custom-style if everything gets overwritten
   anyway?!
