- Any Simplify Your Web extension that relies on the lib_syw external library
Once in a while users come across a blank screen on the public side of their website. Rarely they may have the same experience on some administrator console pages.

How to override the appearance of elements in an extension output

No matter how flexible an extension is, there always comes a time where, now that the functionality is in place, the output is not quite an exact match to the original design.
There are many ways to overcome design issues in Joomla, all mostly involving overrides. When the layout is considerably different, a template override may be in order but for simple changes (like the color of a title for instance), additional CSS code may just be the way to go.
