  I add a caveat to custom css file , like this.

  < !-- the css below changes voting plugin -- >

  Then add the css changes, use !important attribute where needed

  Caio said: I was wondering the protocol for editing the css in plugins in Vanilla, do you edit it directly or through your theme?

  it's a matter of preference... but doing it in the theme gives you the ability to upgrade the plugin without losing the css changes... however, making the changes to the plugin css file allows your changes to propagate across themes. (you just need to be more careful at upgrade)

  You could use

  @import

  and whack them in a separate css file too.
