Hi Donald, The source files are inside the gems from your Gemfile. The most common case is to "override" CSS by creating CSS files inside app/assets/stylesheets/front/. But if you need access to the original file, just copy it from the gem.
For example, download clean-sidemenu.css from Github (https://github.com/Hobo/hobo/blob/master/hobo_clean_sidemenu/vendor/assets/stylesheets/clean-sidemenu.css) and save it into app/assets/stylesheets/front/. There you can edit it at will, and your CSS should override the code from the gem. You can tune things more with the css manifest, and for more info I recommend you to take a deeper look at the assets pipeline: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html. At first it looks like a mess, but then you start seeing the positive side.
