Future versions of Corteza Studio will remove the need for CSS by letting you make the common style changes such elements as backgrounds, transparencies, fonts, buttons and more directly in Corteza Studio. Soon you’ll also be able to save different design themes, set design themes according to roles and apply different design themes to different apps, pages, layouts and blocks.

Here are some sample creations made with Corteza Studio and CSS. Note: When using a custom font, users will need to have the font installed locally to display it.
