## Override UI library files

To add a new breakpoint to the "responsive mixin, override the UI library's `_responsive.less` in your theme:

1. In your theme directory, create a `web/css/source/lib` sub-directory.
1. Create a `_responsive.less` file here. The path to it looks like the following:

<theme_dir>/
│ ├── web/
│ │ ├── css/
│ │ │ ├── source/
│ │ │ ├──lib/
│ │ │ ├──_responsive.less
