This article will instruct you on how to custom style a Waterfall Widget using Custom CSS. If you're looking to customise a widget using our Javascript API - you can find the documentation here.
Use the Code Editor
You can use the Code Editor to modify both your Custom CSS and JavaScript. The CSS editor supports LESS CSS pre-processor. That means you can use both traditional CSS syntax or the better LESS syntax.
Fork from Nosto's UGC
You can now also click the fork link at the top-right corner of each editor pane. This brings the boilerplate code from the Nosto's UGC codebase so that you don't need to write from scratch or copy & paste from our Developer Portal.
