<p>There are a couple of ways you can make style changes to Congo.</p>
<p>If you just need to add or override some simple styles, you can do so by creating a <code>custom.css</code> file in your project&rsquo;s <code>static/css/</code> folder. This file will be loaded automatically after the theme&rsquo;s default styles.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you&rsquo;d like to make a major change, you can take advantage of Tailwind CSS&rsquo;s JIT compiler and rebuild the entire theme CSS from scratch.</p>

<span class="no-prose dark:text-gray-300"><strong>Note:</strong> Building the theme manually is intended for advanced users.</span>
</div>
<p>Change into the <code>themes/congo/</code> folder and install the project dependencies.</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-bash data-lang=bash>npm install
</code></pre></div><p>Once installed, you can edit the <code>themes/congo/tailwind.config.js</code> to change the styles that are applied throughout the theme. You can also adjust specific styles in <code>themes/congo/assets/css/main.css</code>.</p>
<p>To allow for easy theme colour changes, Congo defines a <code>primary</code> and <code>secondary</code> colour palette that is used throughout the theme. In order to change the colour across the entire theme, simply edit the <code>tailwind.config.js</code> file accordingly.</p>
<p>For example, to change to a green colour scheme, you could apply these changes:</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-js data-lang=js> <span class=c1>// themes/congo/tailwind.config.js
</span><span class=c1></span>
<span class=nx>theme</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=p>{</span>
<span class=nx>colors</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=p>{</span>
<span class=nx>transparent</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=s2>&#34;transparent&#34;</span><span class=p>,</span>
<span class=nx>white</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=nx>colors</span><span class=p>.</span><span class=nx>white</span><span class=p>,</span>
<span class=nx>gray</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=nx>colors</span><span class=p>.</span><span class=nx>gray</span><span class=p>,</span>
<span class=nx>primary</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=nx>colors</span><span class=p>.</span><span class=nx>lime</span><span class=p>,</span>
<span class=nx>secondary</span><span class=o>:</span> <span class=nx>colors</span><span class=p>.</span><span class=nx>teal</span><span class=p>,</span>
<span class=p>},</span>
<span class=p>...</span>
<span class=p>}</span>
</code></pre></div><p>For a full list of colours available, and their corresponding configuration values, see the official <a href=https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#color-palette-reference>Tailwind docs</a>.</p>
<p>After editing the configuration, you need to rebuild the theme&rsquo;s stylesheets.</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-bash data-lang=bash>npm run build
</code></pre></div><p>This will automatically output a minified CSS file to <code>/themes/congo/static/css/main.css</code>.</p>
<p>To aid with testing style changes, you can also run the Tailwind JIT comiler in watch mode.</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-bash data-lang=bash>npm run dev
</code></pre></div><p>Now whenever you make a change, the (non-minified) CSS files will be rebuilt automatically. This mode is useful to run when using <code>hugo server</code> to preview your site during development. Remember to perform a full build before publishing your website.</p>
