The custom stylesheet structure of the QPR package makes it easier to transfer old Portal customizations to the new version when upgrading the QPR suite. For instructions concerning the customization itself, refer to the QPR Developer's Guide.
Provided that you have inserted all your modifications to the custom.css file, you will only need to copy your changes from the old custom.css file into the current custom.css file under the qprsoftware/stylesheets/custom.css folder. Copy also your customimages folder in the case you had any customized images in use. Do not overwrite the existing custom.css file as there can be some new styles included in the new file. Copy only your existing customizations to the matching classes.

Preparing for Future Upgrades
Make all the customizations to the custom.css file and store all the modified images to the qprsoftware/stylesheets/customimages folder. Doing this ensures that the future upgrades will be simple, as you will only need to copy the styles in the custom.css stylesheet and the customimages folder to the new installation folder. It is also good to mark all customizations with easily searchable comments to make it easier to transfer them into a new version.
