Hi,

I'm trying to style the Frontend Dashboard. I notice it uses the CSS file at /wp-content/plugins/meta-box-aio/vendor/meta-box/mb-frontend-submission/assets/dashboard.css.

When I use the Customizer's "Additional CSS" to enter overrides, I need to mark everything as !important to work, which creates internal conflicts when I need to add multiple, separate styles.

What's the recommended way to override that CSS file?

Hi,
- You can still use the Additional CSS in the customizer to override the style of the frontend dashboard. Just need to specificity class, for example, current CSS code of the Add New button in the frontend dashboard
```
.mbfs-add-new-post {
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: .5em 1em;
    color: #fff;
    background: #45cbf7;
    border-radius: .25em;
    transition: .3s;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 1em 0;
}
```
specificity class is
```
body .mbfs-add-new-post {
    color: red;
}
```
