Slyling codename one application using .css text files

A few of months ago I watched this vido Steve Hanna video.

It describes a good way to apply style in a "Codename One application" using .css text files. Does current version of "Codename One Plugin (3.6)" allow me to do that? Do I need to install some .cn1lib module to make this feature work?

I would have written this as a comment, but I don't have enough reputation.

I would be very happy if you adopted Steve's cn1-css plugin into Codename One. I use it every day, and vastly prefer it to messing with the GUI theme/resource editor.

I use a lot of "custom" rounded rectangles with background color, and I'd much rather make a quick edit to a text file (.css) than "start over" in a paint application, divide image into pieces, etc. CSS is quicker and a lot less error prone (for me, at least).

Perhaps I am missing an "obvious" solution to this problem of "I want to try out a different bg color, or a different border radius," or maybe cn1-css is this obvious solution?

I am very grateful to Steve for writing this cn1-css plugin!

This is a feature Steve worked on in his spare time and integrated via an extensions which you can install with these instructions. We are looking for feedback on this feature and we are trying to gauge the desire to roll it into Codename One proper.

We know a few people use it but we're still looking for feedback.
