You cannot hide CSS file effectively since user’s agent has to read it in order to get theme working. As for theme’s XML definition, if you have access to Internet Information Services (IIS), go to the YAF’s themes/ directory, find the themeName.xml file, right-click it > click Properties> Uncheck “Read” > Click OK.
