hi,  
all

i have been playing around with rails for sometime,  
i have seen most not all of the rails sites have similar look and feel  
(good

i want to know how to use the stylesheets provided by the RoR framework  
if  
any  
or is it that we have to define on our own from scratch.

looking(the visuals)

Thanks in advance

You can write your own style sheets and put them in your view using the  
styleseet\_link\_tag helper. The stylesheet should go in  
public/stylesheets/.

This email list probably isn’t the best place to look for design help,  
since it is focused on Rails development. Google is your friend, and  
it’s not too hard to find resources to assist your learning. You might  
start by looking at [http://www.oswd.org/](http://www.oswd.org/) for sample designs that are  
free to use.
