 * There are brackets around the custom CSS for the link.
 * Custom CSS works everywhere else.

 * You mean curly brackets, right?
    “{” and “}”
 * If you change this (in wp-topbar.php)
 * `echo "{".trim($wptbOptions['custom_css_text'])."}";`
    to this
 * `echo trim($wptbOptions['custom_css_text']);`
 * Does it fix the problem?

 * No worries.. Thanks for finding it. I’ve got that coded up and it will go out
   in the next release.
 * I am waiting for 3.6 to be released so I can finish that set of testing.
