I was bummed out when (I think it was last year) the **Custom CSS/HTML** fields were removed from all but the default theme.

A workaround I’ve discovered is to make modifications to the default theme and then use the Export button…

Then, unzip the file, and change the settings in **about.json** …

- give it a new name, and
- change the theme component to **true**

Save that file, and create a new .zip which includes, for example…

Then, if you upload that .zip file as a theme or a theme component, you will get the **Custom CSS/HTML** fields that were removed from all but the default theme.
