How do I customize my site's look and feel?

To customize your site, you override the files that produce the site's default look and content with files you have edited to produce your preferred look and content.

You can change many aspects of your site's appearance and behavior, including fonts, colors, icons, standard email content, and even certain elements of the application's functionality, to fit in with your organization's preferred visual appearance and content. This is known as "branding" your site.

You override a particular file by committing your modified version of that file into a special Subversion repository called branding, in a special project called look. To do any branding, you will need to have commit access to this repository in the look project.

CollabNet provides downloadable zip files containing the default, original versions of these files.

• What elements of a site can I customize?
  You can customize the site home page and the default home page of every project on the site. You can also customize the menu bars, headers and footers of any page.
• What is the look project?
  The look project contains special files that can override your site's default appearance and content, so that you can design your own icons, fonts, colors, and the wording of the onscreen labels that appear throughout your site.
