+# Applying Custom CSS
+
+To apply custom CSS, you can add a `/custom/custom.css` file in the jupyter `config` directory. You can find the path, `~/.jupyter`, to this directory by running `jupyter --paths`. There you can create a folder named `custom` and create a `custom.css` file within the folder.
+
+## Jupyter Styling
+
+You can use a custom CSS file to modify default Jupyter styling.
+
+```
+/* Modify Jupyter Styles */
+#top-panel-wrapper, #jp-top-bar {
+  background-color: #aecad4!important;
+}
+
+#menu-panel-wrapper, #jp-MainMenu, #menu-panel {
+  background-color: #aecad4!important;
+}
+
+.jp-NotebookPanel-toolbar {
+  background-color:  #aecad4!important;
+}
+.lm-MenuBar-content {
+  color: #02484d
+}
+```

+
+## Markdown
+
+Another potential application for custom CSS is styling markdown.
