First I have created an active_admin css file as app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss

/* active_admin.css.scss */
@import "active_admin/mixins";
@import "active_admin/base";

/* application.css.scss*/
@import "active_admin.css.scss"

So I have a lot of css of mine been overriden, I followed instructions of this post but still doesn't work. I changed files location from app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss to vendor/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss but still having the problem.

So, how can I load activeadmin css files only when needed?

Based on seanlinsley comment on selected answer and nathan's answer too, it seems to me that the 'cleanest' way is indeed to move active_admin.css.scss from app/assets/stylesheets/ to vendor/assets/stylesheets/.

No need to any other (configuration) modification: 'main' app has it's styles back to normal and AA display is normal too.

(I didn't want to manually include each of my ressources instead of require_tree ... !)

This is the way AA is getting into: AA (still) opened issue on the matter.
