The CSS file is mostly variabilized and can be overloaded suing a custom.css file that will be loaded after the default style.

├── assets
│   └── css
│       └── custom.css # 2. customize the color there
└── themes
    └── vinyl-records-collection-theme
        ├── assets
        │   ├── css
        │   │   ├── custom.css ## 1. copy this file to the site assets folder, in a 'css' sub-folder
        │   │   └── style.css

You can change the background image of the header and the footer, also the default record image, by adding your own one in the site assets folder.

├── assets
│   └── img
│       └── back-header.jpg # will have the priority over the one in the template
└── themes
    └── vinyl-records-collection-theme
        ├── assets
        │   └── img
        │       ├── back-footer.jpg
        │       ├── back-header.jpg
        │       └── default.png

The theme expects the header and footer to be in jpg format, while the default record image is expected to be in png.
