Customize BookStack using the Visual Theme System

In this video I guide you through using the visual theme system to customize icons, text and views within BookStack. This feature is primarily intended to be used by developers that want to visually extend & override BookStack. You'd ideally have some knowledge of the framework BookStack uses (Laravel) and some code skills.

The visual theme system is deemed semi-stable since content being overridden may change in any future BookStack release. You'd want to check over your customizations after applying any updates.
