RT 3.8.5 on FreeBSD-6.2 using Apache 2.2.6 using mason_handler.fcgi
I can not figure out how to change the color scheme of RT to be red
instead of blue.
I’ve Googled the hell out of the issue and have yet to come to a solution.
I’ve found and replaced:
/opt/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/css/web2/images/source/background-gradient.png
Not using the FreeBSD ports then…
…with my own, which results in the top menu bar “RT at a glance” + “New
ticket in” toolbar is now red.
The rest of the page remains blue.
I’ve tried changing multiple color entries in multiple .css files, but
have yet to find the one that works.
My HTML source refers to:
…but I have no main-squished.css anywhere. I’ve tried changing settings
in /opt/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/css/web2/main.css, but have yet to find the
right one.
The worst part about this is that I know I’ve found the answer to this
years ago in what was probably RT 3.0.x ro 3.1.x…and I know the answer
must be out there somewhere, but just can’t find it…
If anyone can provide me guidance here, I would greatly appreciate it.
You should follow the ‘cleanly customize’ concepts, which means creating
a parallel directory tree under /opt/rt3/local/html (I think. It might be just /opt/rt3/local) [It’s /usr/local/www/rt38 if you use the ports layout.]
Under there create a directory tree like so:
mkdir -p NoAuth/css/web2/images/source
Your replacement background gradient (an 800x2 pixel PNG image) goes into:
NoAuth/css/web2/images/source/background-gradient.png
Then you need to copy the original layout.css from /opt/rt3/html/NoAuth/css/web2
into your new locally modified tree:
NoAuth/css/web2/layout.css
Edit this file to change the background colour to match the bottom end of your
gradient file – look for this section close to the top of the file and change as
indicated:
body {
padding:0;
margin:0;
background: #a2a2a2 url(<%RT->Config->Get('WebPath')%>/NoAuth/css/web2/images/background-gradient.png) top left repeat-x ;
^^^^^^^^
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Here I’ve changed the original blue colour (#547CCC) to a fairly light grey (#a2a2a2)
Finally you need to copy …/NoAuth/css/web2/images/dhandler unchanged into the
equivalent position in your new local tree. Clear the mason cache and restart apache. You should now have a customized background gradient.
