The package creates a CSS file ~/.atom/markdown-themeable-pdf/styles.css in your atom configuration directory. You can use this file to customize everything. If you want to change the path, you can change it in the package settings. Alternatively, you can define with project-path/markdown-themeable-pdf/styles.css for each project its own CSS.
Tip: Export your markdown as HTML to inspect it in your favorite browser. After CSS changes you must not restart atom.
