# Customise the look of JabRef using CSS | ||
The look of JabRef can be customised by importing custom CSS files. Imported themes, as well as the two basic themes _Light_ and _Dark_, can be exported from JabRef in the form of CSS files. | ||
|
||
The custom CSS theme is applied on top of the standard _Light_ theme which means that your custom CSS file does not need to contain all the properties that JabRef needs, just add the once that you want to change. | ||
|
||
**If you want to know which CSS properties JabRef uses please export one of the base themes.** | ||
|
||
## Import CSS file | ||
To import a CSS file to JabRef click on Options -> Preferences, then on the _Import theme_ button in the lower-left corner. Now navigate to your CSS file using the opened dialogue box, select your file and click _open_. | ||
|
||
After the dialogue box has closed, go to the _Appearance_ tab (use the search box if you can't find it) in preferences and under _Visual theme_ chose the _Custom theme_ option. Then click _Save_ in the lower-right corner and restart the JabRef. | ||
|
||
Keep in mind that the changes will not take effect until you have restarted JabRef. | ||
|
||
## Export an existing theme | ||
To export a theme click on _Options_ -> _Preferences_, then on the _Export theme_ button in the lower-left corner. Then click on the theme you want to export. |
