Hi,

Before I used the below in my userchrome.css (thanks to @dpoulton) , but that hides the plugin buttons too.

With web pages the stylesheet can be stored within the single HTML page or as a separate stylesheet containing just the styling information that can be linked to. That is what these css files are; separate stylesheets. I am guessing its userstyle.css and userchrome.css, but where are they, what do they do and are there any others? Joplin has several internal styl…

```auto
div.editor-toolbar div button {
	/* removes the WYSIWYG button */
	 display: none !important;
}

```

Any ideas please?

The css in the app has changed a bit since that post you quoted. I use just the Markdown editor and added the below to my **userchrome.css** file to hide the editor toggle button.

```plaintext
div.editor-toolbar .markdown-active {
    /* removes the MARKDOWN/RICH TEXT button */
    display: none !important;
}

```
