### Description

I add  
:root {  
–sidebar-footer-height: 80px;  
}  
to the custom css and it change nothing.

The reason that I put this custom css is I want to make side bar logo bigger.  
If anybody have better way to approach that. It will be grateful.

Hi! A bug preventing custom CSS was introduced in 1.0.\* version; the correction will be available on 1.1.0. As a workaround, you can use the `!important` CSS rule:

```css
:root {
  –sidebar-footer-height: 80px !important;
}

```
