# Custom CSS

MagicMirror² comes with a default theme but it can be customized by placing a
custom css-file in `config/custom.css`.
custom CSS file at `config/custom.css`. You can start with
[`config/custom.css.sample`](https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/custom.css.sample)
as an example of how to override the default variables.

```sh
cp config/custom.css.sample config/custom.css
```

[`css/main.css`](https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/blob/master/css/main.css).

Each module can then have their own CSS styles located in their respective
folders. For example the `weather` modules has its own CSS file located at
[`defaultmodules/weather/weather.css`](https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/blob/master/defaultmodules/weather/weather.css)

The `custom.css` file is loaded after all the default CSS files, so any styles
you add there will override the default styles. You should not edit any of the
default files directly.
