I guess I'm not seeing on the documentation where it is called out how to 
modify those styles? Some GitHub issues I saw said to unzip the PPTX and 
then look for some XML file that called out the four styles called out in 
the documentation. However, that didn't make sense to me. 

Does anyone have any examples of how to successfully, and clearly 
explained, do this?
