I try to customize a theme, but any changes would not work, it stays the same. I tried both from admin panel theme customization, and changing base.css and uploading through ftp.
Dev mode enabled, folder permissions set to 777 where needed.

Do you have any caching plugin installed on your website? Or caching system on your server? If so, then purge the cache, clear browser cache and try again, if not, please PM me your admin and FTP access details, I'll take a look at the issue.

Almanta, the folders
ow_pluginfiles
ow_smarty/template_c
ow_static
ow_userfiles
should have 777 permissions recursively.
recursively means that the folders and files in these folders should be 777 as well. please put correct permissions and see if the issue persists

So it came to the issue of some newly created .css files in ow_userfiles/themes having permissions 666. My hosting provider said, "probably the server does it, but that cannot be changed". Any solutions?

Almantas, that means that you cannot overwrite the files which is why you changes do not apply, if that cannot be changed on server side, you need to change your hosting provider.
