## Usage

To customize the CAPTCHA widget, pass the `appearance` prop to the [defineNuxtConfig()](https://clerk.com/docs/nuxt/reference/nuxt/clerk-middleware.md) integration. The `appearance` prop accepts the property `captcha`, which can be used to apply different changes to the widget.

In the following example, the CAPTCHA is customized to use the dark theme, a flexible size, and Spanish as the display language.

filename: nuxt.config.ts
```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@clerk/nuxt'],
  clerk: {
    appearance: {
      captcha: {
        theme: 'dark',
        size: 'flexible',
        language: 'es-ES',
      },
    },
  },
})
```
