[Plone-UI] Trouble with custom css (browser resource)

Mon Jun 1 05:46:55 UTC 2009

Other info:

    *  Plone 3.2.1
    * CMF 2.1.2
    * Zope (Zope 2.10.6-final, python 2.4.6, darwin)
    * Python 2.4.6 (#1, Apr 26 2009, 10:35:06) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build
5465)]
    * PIL 1.1.6

Running Mac OS X.

I build my plone instances by hand using paster and buildout only.

Thanks
