Is there a way to write your own custom message for the forbidden access screen?

**Bad news:**  
No we don't allow for customization of the text of that page, unlike other Terminal State pages.

**Good news:**  
Perspective is all HTML and CSS and Smoke and Mirrors and Magic, so you can do whatever you want if you get really clever.

Use the `stylesheet.css` resource available in 8.1.22 and newer.

```auto
div.forbidden-page p {
	visibility: hidden;
}

div.forbidden-page p:after {
	content: "A custom message.";
	visibility: visible;
	display: block;
}

```

Perfect, that will work. Thank you!
