Hello,  
I want to update kibana style by updating css file.  
I updated before (v 7.0.1) by updating common.style.css file. But I am using now 7.9.2 and there is not common.style.css file in this version.  
Which css file should I update? Please help.

Thank you.

A plugin with a custom CSS file would be the best route but if you are looking for a quick fix (that will overwrite when you update again) you can use the `core.dark.css` or `core.light.css` depending if you are using light/dark mode.
