# Customising mkdocs

I wanna customise my mkdocs theme. So I can have a dark mode. Because it currently looks like this and having a nice looking documentation page is necessary too!

## Issues

### Attempt 1
I tried changing it by referencing extra css but when it builded i looked through the job artifacts and I saw that it didnt pick up on the file

```yml
site_name: Fab Academy docs page - Sam
site_url: https://pages.gitlab.io/mkdocs
site_dir: public
theme: 
 name: ivory
extra_css: [extra.css]
```
```css
.footer-note {
    color:rgb(47, 44, 44) !important
}

.home .version {
    color:rgb(47, 44, 44) !important
  }
```
### Attempt 2
After I read the documentation thoroughly i found out that the css file needs to be relative to the `docs` folder and not the `mkdocs.yml`. After that it showed the css and I could finaly customise the theme.



## Customising Material theme
I decided to switch to material theme because its easier to configure and you can add all sorts of modules onto it making it super customisable.
