@@ -25,3 +25,22 @@ Which value is given is decided like this:
 1. If an argument is given on the command-line, use that value.
 2. Otherwise, use the value from the configuration file if present.
 3. If neither command-line nor configuration file are given, use the built-in default value.
+
+# Custom Styles
+
+The stylesheet values may be overridden by adding custom values to a file found in a
+standard folder for configuration, depending on your operating system:
+
+- Linux: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/oasis/custom-style.css`.
+  Usually this is `/home/<your username>/.config/oasis/custom-style.css`
+- Windows `%APPDATA%\oasis\custom-style.css`.
+- Mac OS, `/Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/oasis/custom-style.css`
+
+As an example the width used for the main body may be changed to a different
+fixed width or a dynamic width:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --measure: 75%;
+}
+```
