There are three kinds of CSS files in MicroStrategy:

• Application-wide CSS files in the /style/mstr subfolder: mstrTheme.css, mstr.css

• Page-specific CSS files in the \style\mstr subfolder: pageProjects.css, pageLogin.css, pageDesktop.css, pageFolder.css, pageCreateReport.css, pageCreateDocument.css, pageWait.css, pagePrompts.css, promptIndex.css, pageReport.css, pageRW.css, and so on
