You don’t *need* to create a custom theme, but it may be tidier to do so and it’s not hard to.
.scss files are designed to work with SASS and Compass. If you have those installed, then you make changes in the .scss file(s) and run the compass compile command to get them compiled into the final .css file (which, yes, overwrites the default rules). If your changes are fairly simple and you don’t want to install SASS/Compass then you can just find the .css file and make the changes directly. If you’re wanting to work with anything responsive, though, probably you do need to work with the .scss. (Our own process is that we have Compass on our Sandbox/Development environment for developing the style using the .scss files, but when we’re happy with it we just copy the .css file to Production.)

(CSS, Logos, Footer links) Am I correct in my assumptions: I don't need to create a Custom Theme? If so do I need to follow the same process? The css changes can be made in _style.scss? Will this override the Mirage 2 theme classes if I use the same elements?
