Is there an easy way to overwrite basically all the style of kibana? Or turn them off?

I'm trying to theme our implementation for branding purposes, and need to customize most of the elements. I can achieve this very methodically, and creating very complex query selectors, but was hoping there was a better way.

Thanks in advanced, any thoughts or help is appreciated!!

There isn't a hook to implement custom styling at this point. I recommend checking out [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), setting up a local development environment, modifying files like [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/styles/variables/colors.less](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/styles/variables/colors.less), and building a custom version with your modifications. If you fork the repository on github you will be **able** to pull in the latest changes from the primary repository, but know that styling in Kibana experiences a fair amount of churn and staying up to date will probably be pretty difficult.
