In the Layouts editor

  1. Editors keep using the same options; the classes they set (CSS class) can be styled too.

With templates

  1. Add your stylesheet with FrontendCSSFileList[] in your extension's design.ini (Styling your blocks), and style the classes the wrapper already has.

Which to choose

CSS first; override templates only where the structure must change.

Check
