Hello, we have developed a branding style for our website. As such we have been trying to customize the appearance of EasySocial to match that look. We are currently trying to edit the ES email templates so that our users are being delivered a consistent experience across our site. The process for modifying these templates is extremely cumbersome and not practical. For example to simply change the button style for all notifications ("Preview Post", "Read Comment", etc.) we have to create overrides for every single template and edit the color for the button element. This is true for fonts, font sizes, colors, etc. It would be much more practical if you would assign class names to all of these elements and refrain from embedding style information into the template, then we would be able to simply create a handful of css rules and have it apply universally across ES.

It would be even better if you would utilize a LESS development approach and provide a backend compiler. We could then modify LESS parameters and easily adjust the style of the entire ES interface. But right now the approach being used really needs to be changed.
Thanks for your input, we will see if we can come out a better solution for this in the future.

For example : For those button styling from the email, i think we should create a php file to only generate this button inline styling css, so user do not need to customise this button styling in each of the email template php file.

By the way, I would not encourage user to use css class implement in email template is because not all the email client will support CSS classes.
