I need to redo the styling for the controls to meet my BA requirements. I've already made a copy of the default css. The problem is that the controls point to a resource file (I'm assuming) in _content. My stylesheet doesn't know what to do with this. The icons are all simply text.
How can I completely overwrite the styles with a secondary stylesheet?

The Radzen Blazor components do not include a resource file by themselves. The developer does that (step 3 from the getting started instructions). Or if using Radzen - it generates it in the _Host.cshtml file. You can simply replace that reference with your copy of the stylesheet.

Yes. Radzen uses an icon font (Material icons).

Your best bet is to copy some of the built-in themes and update it as you need. Radzen itself includes a theme builder which allows one to visually customize a theme (still not replace all icons).
