Colin, Thanks for checking out Apache NiFi. The UI is a packaged as a Java web application that is built as part of NiFi's build process. NiFi uses Maven to build and package the application. You should be able to edit the sources that comprise that WAR with any IDE that can import Maven projects. At that point, you should be able to edit all the JSP files, Javascript files, and CSS files.
As Joe mentioned, there is currently an effort underway to fresh the look and feel as described in NIFI-1323. Let me know if you have any other questions.
