Thingworx Widgets Custom CSS Deep Dive Session

A lot of times the widgets are limited in capability, and we have to resort to Custom CSS. I've recently read an article which gives a ridiculous Custom CSS solution that no developer could've got to by themselves:

 

#runtime-workspace .test.widget-flexcontainer-bounding-box.allow-content-resize {
	flex: 1 0 auto !important;
}

Is there no chance that we could have a PTC tutorial with how to achieve Custom CSS editing through Dev Tools? All official resources I've come across are very flimsy.

 

Thanks.

1. 9.2.1

2. No concrete problem. Just having a CSS expert explain how to customize OOTB Thingworx widgets through CSS code is enough.

3. This would significantly reduce the time spent by PTC support technicians trying to solve widget shortcomings.
