Welcome to SharePoint 2010 Site Styles

Now that themes in SharePoint 2010 have been reworked to only allow you to modify essentially 12 colors and 2 fonts... what do the designers and developers do that need more flexibility? What happened to the ability to deploy custom CSS? Well, you can still do it if you enable publishing or roll your own Control Template but why do that when SharePoint 2010 Site Styles does the work for you! SharePoint 2010 Site Styles provide a way to centrally manage and apply CSS and images to publishing and non-publishing sites with a SharePoint 2010 environment.
