+### Custom Drop-in Stylesheet

+You may find that for your particular application that you would like to have some control over the styling of your
+website, but are not yet able to fully integrate the CSS custom properties from the base stylesheets. In this case you
+could replicate the functionality of the Drop-in stylesheets for those parts you need to use overrides for in your own
+styles.
+
+For this it's best to review how the drop-in stylesheets are generated, but in short they make aggressive use of the
+`!important` flag to attempt to give the declarations the highest level precedence. You can follow a similar approach,
+or use other appropriate mechanisms for your given application.
+
+For example:
+
+```css
+/* When the text size preference is set, set the font-size to the value
+from --fl-textSize */
+.fl-textSize-enabled {
+    font-size: var(--fl-textSize) !important;
