# Control Appearance

There are a number of ways you can customize the look & feel of your notifications:

* To change the overall look and feel of the notification, set the [Skin](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/notification/appearance-and-styling/skins) property.

* To change the content within the notification, set the **Text** property, the **Title** property or add controls in its ContentTemplate.

* To change the way the notification initially becomes visible, use the [Animation](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/notification/appearance-and-styling/animation) property.

* To change the look of an individual aspect of the notification, use its **CssClass** property and set up CSS styles as needed.
