### Setting Custom CSS ### Adding your own Theme
User-defined styles and custom themes should be defined in `./src/styles/user-defined-themes.scss`. If you're using Docker, you can pass your own stylesheet in using the `--volume` flag. E.g. `v ./my-themes.scss:/app/src/styles/user-defined-themes.scss`. Don't forget to pass your theme name into `appConfig.cssThemes` so that it shows up on the theme-switcher dropdown.

This is then associated with `appConfig.customCss` in local storage. Styles can also be directly applied to this attribute in the config file, but this may get messy very quickly if you have a lot of CSS.
It's also possible to set CSS in the config file under `appConfig.customCss`. However this approach is not very neat, and if you do do it, first minify / compress your CSS and wrap in quotes, to ensure it does not cause any validation errors.
