I don't know if I'll have time to test this week due to the major release.
My general comment on the patch as is stands is around the heavy use of
"!important"; if we have to override styles with that, then something is
not cascading correctly and we should fix that.
Some of the original CSS from the design does have "!important" in it,
though we've been trying to roll back what we can as we come across it.
There are some legit use cases (e.g. overriding something Bootstrap is
doing that we can't otherwise override), but I'd prefer if we don't
introduce further !important's.
Thanks,
Jonathan
