I looked at the way the CSS files are loaded. Sure enough, the standard.css file is loaded first and then my custom CSS is loaded.
Although the end result is what I want (my styles override the standard ones), the user will see the standard styles in a split second before they see my styles. After looking through the web, I think the only way is to modify the actual standard.css file and remove the common tags (body, td, etc.) manually before I package it into my app. Charles On Monday, August 27, 2012 6:58:14 PM UTC-4, Charles Chan wrote: > > I should correct myself that it's not really a "flash" (which implies a > page refresh).
