Overwrite the global styling theme for individual surveys to create unique styles for each survey.

<Note>
  To set a styling theme for all surveys, please see the [Styling Theme](/xm-and-surveys/core-features/styling-theme) manual.
</Note>

## Overwrite Styling Theme

1. In the **Survey Editor** of the survey you want to style, navigate to the **Styling** tab:

   ![Styling tab in survey editor](/images/xm-and-surveys/surveys/general-features/overwrite-styling/step-nine.webp)

2. Activate the **Add Custom Styles** toggle to override the default project styling:

   />

3. Customize your survey's style as needed:

Just hit the **Save** button to apply your changes. Your survey is now ready to impress with its unique look!

## Overwrite CSS Styles for App & Website Surveys

You can overwrite the default CSS styles for app and website surveys by adding the following CSS to your global CSS file (e.g., `globals.css`):

**Do not** change the CSS variable names, as Formbricks uses them to identify styling elements. You can adjust the values to fit your design. Below are sample values for reference:

```css
/* Overwrite Formbricks default styles */
--fb-brand-color: red;
--fb-brand-text-color: white;
--fb-border-color: green;
--fb-border-color-highlight: rgb(13, 13, 12);
--fb-focus-color: red;
--fb-heading-color: yellow;
--fb-subheading-color: green;
--fb-info-text-color: orange;
--fb-signature-text-color: blue;
--fb-survey-background-color: black;
--fb-accent-background-color: rgb(13, 13, 12);
--fb-accent-background-color-selected: red;
--fb-placeholder-color: white;
--fb-rating-fill: rgb(13, 13, 12);
--fb-rating-hover: green;
--fb-back-btn-border: blue;
--fb-submit-btn-border: transparent;
--fb-rating-selected: black;
```
