You can customise the text and appearance of the password prompt that is displayed when encrypted TiddlyWiki files are first opened.

To do so, create a tiddler tagged {{$:/core/wiki/rawmarkup||$:/core/ui/TagTemplate}} containing:

# A JavaScript `<script>` tag containing code to override the configuration variable `$tw.boot.encryptionPrompts.decrypt`
# CSS `<style>` definitions targeting the `tc-password-wrapper` class to apply styles to the form

Raw markup tiddlers are spliced into the top of the standalone HTML file, and are executed before the boot prefix and boot kernel.

See $:/PatchEncryptionPrompt for an example.
