Krishna,

You need to dig in and modify the CSS files to change the look of the RT web interface. I don’t know how you installed RT, but on my system (Ubuntu Linux) those files are in /usr/local/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/css/3.5-default/

The RT html output is pretty thoroughly marked up with divs, making it possible to have fairly fine-grained control of how everything looks. I would recommend the Firefox Web Developer extension

for a quick way to identify how the divs are arranged. If you’re not familiar with CSS then you’ll need to track down some additional resources. More substantial modifications to the web interface require overriding some of the default mason components. See the following wiki page for more information on that.

BTW, it’s probably not terribly useful to send mail directly to Jesse, Ruslan, or the rt-users-request address. Post your questions here, and you’ll have the best chance of a reply.

You can create your own look-and-feel and put it under rt_root/local, so
it’s more maintainable. I created an
rt_root/local/html/NoAuth/css/Local directory, copied all the
3.5-default .css files into it, and modified them to my liking, then set
$WebDefaultStylesheet to ‘Local’–it works.

Karl,

Is that last step really necessary? I’m overriding a style sheet in my case simply by placing it in rt_root/local/html/NoAuth/css/ and taking advantage of RT’s normal overriding feature. I didn’t need to change the RT_SiteConfig.

Tim, I didn’t try that. It’s probably not necessary, unless you want to
give your own unique set of .css files a different name than the RT
defaults. Thanks for the tip.
