The video walks through how to customize the look and feel of your website using the **Colors, Fonts, and Layout** settings.
It shows how to set a default brand color (often pulled from your artwork) and then override it for specific elements like buttons, links, announcement bars, navigation, cards, and the footer. It also demonstrates how to change section styles (corners and borders), pick and adjust fonts using Google Fonts or a custom uploaded font, tweak page width and corner radius, and control the appearance of the player badges (RSS, Spotify, Apple), especially in dark mode.
The video emphasizes using the built-in **dark mode** option for white text on a dark background instead of manually forcing colors, and ends by reminding you to click **Save** after making changes.
