No changes are required for the XML.

I think you should restart due to the styles being so different.

You do this by adding book_templates/overrides.css to your brand.

If you just want colored headings just set the color for h1, h2, h3, etc.

If you don't like the styling at all, then you can add
book_templates/pdfmain-css.tmpl and replace the CSS entirely.

<sigh> I note the User Guide is insanely out of date :(

Exposing book_templates directory happened in

Cheers, Jeff.
