Sorry i don't know what you doing wrong. But you can also right click on the .scss file in the solution explorer and click on web compiler > Recompile file

I got the following error after doing this:

Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run next command `npm update caniuse-lite browserslist`

It looks like I need to install node.js first and then the caniuse-lite package. Very sad...

Why don't we have the ability to set theme colors a simple way?

This is a problem with the webcompiler. But i'm not responsible for bugs in other software. I run a little powershell script to update ther browserlist

## Remove current version of caniuse-lite & browserlist
rm -r -fo $Home\AppData\Local\Temp\WebCompiler*\node_modules\caniuse-lite\
rm -r -fo $Home\AppData\Local\Temp\WebCompiler*\node_modules\browserlist\

## Install caniuse-lite and browserlist new versions in proper directory
cd $Home\AppData\Local\Temp\WebCompiler*
npm i caniuse-lite browserlist

## Popup to confirm installation completed
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell
$wshell.Popup("caniuse-lite & browserlist have been updated",0,"NPM Install Complete",0x0 + 0x40 + 0x1000)

save this script as ps file and run it in powershell

Well of course you can directly modify the css, its your decision. But its much easier to modify the scss files.

WOOOOOOOW!
Hundreds of thanks!
I've managed to do what I wanted after launching that PowerShell script!!

BTW, I also set this in _variables.scss:

$font-size-base:              1rem !default;

This gave me an even better and more harmonious look of all UI elements compared to setting 'font-size:1rem;' for body directly in bootstrap-forum.min.css.

Changing just $warning color from $purple to $orange gives 37 (!!) differences between the new and original bootstrap-forum.css. And you should know why - we have derived RGB values and the like. So changing resulting CSS's for bootstrap themes directly is definitely not a way to go 😊
