# Custom CSS Theming — Form Builder
`<docuseal-builder>` accepts arbitrary CSS via the `data-custom-css` (HTML) or `customCss` (React/Vue/Angular) attribute.
Pass the CSS **as a string**, not a stylesheet link. Selectors target the component's internal class names.
## Minimal example
```html
<docuseal-builder
data-token="<JWT_FROM_BACKEND>"
data-custom-css=".tooltip:before { background-color: #364153; }">
</docuseal-builder>
```
```jsx
<DocusealBuilder
token={token}
customCss=".tooltip:before { background-color: #364153; }"
/>
```
## Selector reference (dark theme)
Full working dark theme. Covers every overridable selector in `<docuseal-builder>`.
```css
/* DOCUSEAL TEMPLATE BUILDER DARK THEME */
/*
This theme is provided as a demonstration of Template Builder customization capabilities.
Some selectors may need adjustments based on your website's structure.
The code is not optimized for production to enhance readability.
