App Styling and Design Looks Wrong or Broken

The app doesn't look like it should. Elements overlap, colors are wrong, fonts aren't loading, spacing is off, or the design has regressed from what it looked like before. You tried to fix it with prompts but the AI keeps changing things you didn't want changed.

Common Causes

  • CSS conflicts — new styles override existing ones unintentionally
  • Missing CSS file or broken import
  • Fonts not loading because the CDN link is broken or blocked
  • AI-generated inline styles conflicting with stylesheet styles
  • Dark mode/light mode toggle broken

How to Fix It

  1. Open browser DevTools (F12) and inspect the broken element to see what CSS is applied
  2. Look for CSS files returning 404 in the Network tab
  3. Check for inline styles that might be overriding your stylesheet
  4. If fonts aren't loading, check the font CDN link and try loading it directly in a browser
  5. Use the DevTools Elements panel to experiment with CSS changes before modifying code

Frequently Asked Questions

The AI keeps changing styles I didn't ask it to change. How do I stop this?

AI tools often make broad CSS changes when you ask for a small tweak. A human developer can make the specific change you need without breaking anything else.

Everything looked fine until I added a new feature. Now the layout is broken.

The new CSS from the AI-generated feature is conflicting with existing styles. A developer can isolate the conflict and fix it.
