 * HI,
    sorry to bother you but I have a few problems.
 * I’m trying to style your default templates, at the moment I just have to change
   the color of the download buttons to match my website.
    I’m editing the file 
   frontend.css and managed to change the colors from blue to yellow. I refreshed
   the page and I saw the changes. Now I’m trying to polish some minor details such
   the gradient and etc.. but everytime I refresh the page I can’t see the changes.
   I tried to restore the original frontend.css with the blue color, but the button
   is still yellow. Even using the incognito window give me the same result… why?
   Am I doing something wrong?
 * Ps. the .less is a nicely formatted version of the same .css, correct?

 * Hey Alessio,
 * We compile the less files to the CSS files when we deploy and update. It’s not
   recommended you change the core plugin files (like frontend.css) directly because
   this will result in your customization being deleted when you update the plugin.
   I recommend to do the custom styling in your theme’s style.css for example.
 * Regarding the changing not displaying. If you’re sure your styling is correct
   but the changes don’t display it’s most likely caching. Your browser is most 
   likely caching the stylesheets and there’s also the possibility that a caching
   plugin or your server is caching the files statically.
 * Kind Regards,
 * Barry Kooij
