In RSD 1 the wireframe theme is standard included in each new project with the Coffeegrinder framework and it is moved with existing projects to RSD 2. I would rather start with clean Coffeegrinder css.
Is there a way to remove it from existing projects or new projects in RSD 1 and or RSD 2?
Yes, I know the link to the stylesheet can - afterwards - be removed from the <head> section in the html, but that ruins the layout.

If you have RSD1.x, you can open a default, empty project and save it to desktop. Then open it in RSD2 and save it as a theme.
If you don't have RSD1.x, just 'undress' a project made with coffeegrinder and save that as a theme.

In RSD 1.x opening a new file comes with the " getting started ..." page. Open file new from theme and choose " blank" still comes with the presets from the wireframe theme and the link to the wireframe CSS (after export).
If I don't want all those 7px margin presets: is there a way to start without wireframe presets?
Or do I really have to start with a "custom-start" theme that resets all those wireframe presets.

Just make your own custom wireframe and save that as a theme. Then on the Theme chooser, select your theme and check the box "set as default".

Thanks Scott!
But I am confused.
Whatever I do, if i start with a blank project (file) I get a preset from wireframe, So RSD gives me all kinds of settings that originate I guess from the wireframe theme. On top of the presets from Foundation framer or Bootstrap or Coffeegrinder.

What do you mean making my own custom wireframe if I can't get rid of the original wireframe that RSD adds automatically. Do you mean I have to manually override all wireframe settings and always have to end-up with a link to the wireframe theme CSS sheet plus my own counter-wireframe css stylesheet?

I guess the RSD program when it starts-up is reading the wireframe-theme CSS and presents these settings on top of the framework CSS settings as the default settings we see while working in the " design" pane. Is it possible to prevent RSD to use the wire-frame css?

There will always be some predefined styles that the framework itself already has applied to it. Those you cannot remove. But if you want to start with a blank canvas, just pick one of the blanks.

For a new project I switched to FF. To my surprise, there is still a wireframe.css interfering.
In the exported files there is a foundation.css, a main.css and a wireframe.css.
Even if I start with a blank canvas. The first 2 I understand.
The wire frame theme is added by Coffeecup.

Why is this necessary and why do I need to add yet another css file if I don't want all my new projects to start with wireframe settings I don't want?
Maybe RSD could just give the option to start a blank without the wireframe.css.

Another thing: build 2128 seems unstable; every now and then RSD does not start-up properly on my MacBook when I select: open a recent project file. I then get an system error message indicating a problem; the message gives the option to start again or cancel.

Then RSD opens with the "haywire" something message block and consequently opens the project file without further problems. Am I the only one with this problem?
