Maintainance Info:

Later, If some changes are made to css may not reflect immediately due to the caching ,We can disable this by changing the Forms.CombinedResources.Cache.Enabled value to False in the web.config file of Runtime/Design .

(Runtime Web.config : C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 smartforms Runtime
Designer Web.config :C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 smartforms Designer)

And once you see your css changes reflecting then enable back caching by changing Forms.CombinedResources.Cache.Enabled value to True,This will improve the performance of smartforms.
