Problem edit theme.css file

[Biscotto]

Hi,
I was trying to edit the .css file of the prestahop classic theme to add customizations (so without going to add changes in the custom.css file).
So I went to do a test by going to edit the themes/classic/assets/css/theme.css file.
I tried to make a simple change like this (a simple color change:

 #header .header-top {
        background: #1e2448;
        padding-bottom: 0;
    }
    #header .header-top a[data-depth="0"] {
        color: #ffffff;
    }

Unfortunately, however, the mods are not displayed on the prestashop store (I use version 1.7.7.5). I've tried clearing the cache, disabling it and setting forced recompilation, but the style of my store is not displayed with the new colors.

Can you tell me where I'm going wrong? Is there any way to make changes to the base css of the theme without going to create overrides in the custom.css file?

Check in other browser, if there your changes are visible it is your current browser cache. Why you don't put change in custom.css it is recommended way to make changes in css.

try background-color: #1e2448; clear PS cache and your browser cache.
