 * When using custom/Extra CSS in advanced options it does work for some elements
   and some properties but I cannot make et work with tables.
 * I can color the background, but I cannot add borders to the TD tag and I’m not
   able to align text in the cells. This does work other themes. I hope you can 
   fix it, so that I don’t have to hard code it into the themes CSS file.

 * Hi,
 * There’s no problem in styling the tables with CSS as far as I can see.
    Maybe
   you just need to use stronger CSS selectors in order to override the theme style.
   You might want to use a browser inspector tool to easily retrieve the selector
   you need: [http://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/272-inspect-your-webpages-in-your-browser-with-the-development-tools](http://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/272-inspect-your-webpages-in-your-browser-with-the-development-tools)
 * Here’s an example ho a working custom CSS:
