Nick the owner has personally replied to a number of my emails or questions. The rate of new themes that have been released has slowed down since they became more popular though.

got it figured out. the /Ceartichild/style.css didnt need any import rules. That’s just used to trigger the child theme functionality.

all my new css rules should go in /Ceartichild/css/orange.css and I needed […]
