Wrote up a guide on how I've gone to town painting my @RoamResearch setup with custom CSS. maggieappleton.com/paintingroam Includes a walkthrough video and theme source code. Personalised data tags FTW #roamcult

Definitely not

Replying to

Hahah much better than the Gladwell one. Didn’t realise

@Malcolm_Ocean

officially suggested the data-tag inclusion! Will add that to the post. While we’re here, any chance we can put in a request for custom page links [[ ]] too? Thank you 🙏

Noob question, but how/where do you find the classes to use with CSS? With the dev mode or else? Roam made me began to use CSS but I'm still a beginner.

Yeah it was basically a precondition of my switching to Roam from WorkFlowy 😂 Had all of these tags (& more) I was already using there, using hacky [title*="Filter #tag"] syntax twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/

Yup, Stylus. (It's a fork from a thing called Stylish—don't use that; the UI is worse and it has tracking shit in it) I've been doing the custom tag styles in workflowy for years, which was sort of a hack, but for Roam @Conaw added custom selectors. Also twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/
