While Glide may be right in saying they have openly said they do not support CSS implicitly this post

> Hi all, I’ve been starting to look into CSS usage in Glide and how we can better serve you. I would love if y’all could help me with this task by doing a few things. Give me a description of what you are using CSS for. Give me some before and after screenshots of what your CSS does. If it adds motion an movie would be amazing. If you are open to it, include your CSS snippet as an inline code block. Keep it short! I want to gather a large gallery and it will really really help me act…

…from Glide might have given the impression that they intend to support it and we’re doing “work” behind the scenes to support it or at the very least, steer clear of the most used class names for CSS manipulations…

I feel for the advanced users who have quite a number of Apps that make use of CSS even though myself I do have some Apps that use CSS but I have never been an extensive user of CSS because somehow I “knew” this day would come.

The truth of the matter here is that if Glide was offering better design options for their Apps, people would not have to use CSS…more needs to be done to natively change things like putting an image in the background, more colour options for buttons etc…

My hope is that the trade off between no CSS and more speed of the Apps will be evident to see and not be something that you don’t really detect and yet the App looks less attractive…  
I am glad I am investing more time on pages these days and hopefully that “Custom CSS” feature we got a glimpse of will be coming soon 😉
