"Now, how do I find stylesheets again?" 

...ooufff... must type fiddly filter in advanced search system tab... no, wait, has to be the filter tab... besides, is it Stylesheet or StyleSheet... or maybe I should just create a new tid with <<tag $:/tags/Stylesheet>> to click on.... Or, wait, wasn't there some Stylesheet tab in the Controlpanel? ...should be under Appearence... hmm[1] that's strange..

No biggie, but for me it's intuitive to have it as a tab under Sidebar > More so I created this tiddler:

title: $:/tags/Stylesheet
tags: $:/tags/MoreSideBar
caption: Stylesheets
list-before:
text:
\define ss() <$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Stylesheet]]"><$link/><br></$list>

<$list filter={{$:/tags/Stylesheet!!list}} emptyMessage=<<ss>>>

</$list>

Briefly, if the tiddler has a list field then this list is displayed. If there's no such field then all tiddlers tagged stylesheet are just listed. Because of the $:/tags/MoreSideBar tag, the result is accessible in Sidebar > More

If anyone has a prettier filter solution to rid the ss macro, that'd be welcome.

<:-)


[1] Stylesheets can be found under Ctrlpanel > Info > Advanced > Stylesheets. Too hidden for a tiddler fiddler like myself.

Right! So what exactly is the issue finding a list of stylesheets? 

You forgot how to link/jump? :-)

And, of course any "$:/tags/Stylesheet" visible tag pill shows them AND lets you d&d their cascade order.

So, WHAT is the issue?

Hi Mat,
 Great tip! Thank you!

Another solution is to open

$:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Stylesheets tiddler

and tag it with $:/tags/MoreSidebar


Best wishes
Mohammad

@TT - not sure if you're ironic but anyway, it's just a small tip for anyone who - like me - do think it will be more directly accessible in the sidebar. Plus I kind of feel it "belongs" there under "More"... lurching in the Shadows among the Orphans, the Missing, and the other neglected peripherals in need of some love ;-)

@Mohammad - thanks. IMO your alternative brings with it too many things making it less suitable for the sidebar. But on a bigger screen than my crummy laptop it's probably good :-)

Mat,
 Yes, yours is much simpler.

Cheers
Mohammad

I'm not averse to your idea, in truth.

On the other hand, some of us are more interested in Getting Rid Of The Sidebar. :-)

Best wishes

Really? Why? TopBar instead or how would you access the Sidebar stuff? Is there a discussion on this I can peek at? I, unfortunately, cannot following things as closely as I wish these days.

I may be in a minority of 1?

TBH, in my experience sidebar stuff is great during the DEVELOPMENT of a wiki
With a finished wiki, for a purpose, on publish,  it can usually be either made minimal, or, better, ditched.

Maybe this line of thought would need a different thread? I don't want to soil your OP aims.

Oh, of course, both sidebar and stylesheet access is obviously for dev and general tiddly fiddling not public wikis.
