Okay hand onto your hair piece as I attempt to enlighten you with what I have done to address look-and-feel. From what I have found the look and feel is handled on several levels. under /css/default.css you will find many tags used sporadically throughout the code including but not limited to the templates/vm/controls/* the files under here seem to control the navigation layout and display. Some of the tag variables referenced here are included in the default.css. Additionally you will find the look and feel control of the skins in /WEB-INF/conf/skins.xreg you can create your own skin-entry or simply make changes to the existing. If you are looking to effect the look and feel of the portal default page then you want to modify the /WEB-INF/psml/anon/html/(language)/default.psml. If you do not have the launguage support enabled then modify the default.psml one directory up. In the default.psml make a change to the <skin name="metoc-gold"/> where you reference the preferred color scheme from within the skins.xreg file. Last but not least if you are looking to change the default portal skin open up /WEB-INF/conf/JetspeedResources.properties and modify the services.PortalToolkit.default.skin to reflect the preferred skin from the skins.xreg file. As you see below:
######################################### # Portal Service # ######################################### services.PortalToolkit.default.skin=metoc-gold Bear in mind this is what I have modified to get the look and feel I want BUT and this is a big BUT if I am mistaken in anything I have modified to date and you who are reading this disagrees please let me know. This has all been a test of my patience playing "Where is Waldo" as I try fish for the element I am trying to modify on the page. I welcome any insight on how this should or shouldn't be accomplished. That being said it modified everything I wanted. Let me know if this works for anyone else as well.

I'm working with JetSpeed, trying to change the way portlets look. I'm having some trouble finding the place where the portlet HTML code is generated. I want to change the title background color into an image and stuff like that. I don't want to use the skin config, since it only change colors and styles, I want to add images to them.
