Appearance controls the look and feel of Exprodo DB. It does this by allowing the creation of CSS to overwrite the default values. The user can also set the headings for the Host Page and for the Login page, as well as a banner to be displayed at the top of each page. The Headings (debug) setting will only be shown when the Show advanced appearance box is ticked.
