The Custom Theme Settings page allows you to configure the appearance of your site when you are using custom_theme theme. Note that the changes you make in this page will be visible only when you have selected custom_theme from Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme Selector.

- If you have uploaded a CSS previously and want to make other changes without having to upload the CSS again, just uncheck the checkbox Use my own CSS.
- If you have uploaded a CSS previously and don't want to use it anymore, check the checkbox Use my own CSS and leave the Upload CSS field empty. This will delete your CSS file from the server.
- Upload your own Favicon
