I’ve been playing with some of the nice new features of RW8 - and was trying to customize the look of the new Privacy Notice. If I apply custom CSS to a particular page it works fine: the changes are implemented on the look of the Privacy Notice on that page, but if I move the same edits to the CSS section of the global code on my project then it doesn’t work: no changes are implemented on the look of the Privacy Notice on any page.

Is there a way to apply these CSS changes globally instead of copying the code to every page on the project?

Thanks,  
Gary

It appears that the global CSS is inserted _before_ the privacy notice CSS and thus overruled. I can think of two workarounds for now:

add `!important` to every declaration:  
`#rapidweaver_privacy_message {`  
`background-color: #FF2600 !important;`  
`}`

or add `body` before every selector:  
`body #rapidweaver_privacy_message {`  
`background-color: #FF2600;`  
`}`

@dan: you may want to change the order of this CSS in a future update.

Good catch, we’ll switch that!
