Best way of adding custom CSS as part of a plugin

[Spleasure]

I am working on a plugin, and I like the new product/plugin system very much. I just need to add a couple of custom style definitions to the main CSS file, but I wonder how that can be done in the best way. I could just add it to EXTRA or EXTRA2, but then uninstall becomes difficult. Another option is to put it in a template, and load it with misc.php?do=page&template=nameoftemplate, which I also use for my javascript file. Is there an option which I have overlooked?

[edit]
The last option does not work, because FireFox doesn't like CSS files with Content-type: text/html.

I would like to know this too.
Anyone?

I'm also wondering why the main CSS is inline and not in an external file.

That's an option. Make clientscript/vbulletin_css/ writable , enable the setting in the options menu and vBulletin will write the CSS to that directory.

is this a plugin that will enable adding new css selector fields in the style manager? Like this? (http://www.luggruff.se/cssselector.PNG)

No, my plugin won't add new fields to the Admin CP CSS editor.

chmod 777 should make it writable.

Figured out a good way to do this and used it in my new modification https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=110401

I might be mistaking, but does your method cause that your CSS is added to the CSS file which is cached in clientscript/vbulletin_css?

I'd just use inline CSS personally, or add it to the headinclude template. Not allowing proper CSS addition via plugins is a pretty chronic oversight in my eyes on Jelsoft's part.
