You can customize the front-page by creating a front-page blog theme, but to customize the login page and the editor/admin UI there are two approaches. The first one is to use the undocumented editor/admin UI theme capability. If you look in the directory /web/roller-ui/theme you will find three directories sun, blue and tan. These are three different themes for the editor/admin UI. You can pick one by specifying the property 'editor.theme' in your roller-custom.properties file. By default editor.theme=tan. If creating your own theme directory does not give you enough control, then you will need to understand Struts2 and Tiles. Look in WEB-INF/tiles.xml for the tiles config and then under WEB-INF/jsp/tiles for the tiles referenced by tiles.xml. You can modify those as needed, but remember, next time a Roller release comes out you may have to do some annoying merges. Hope that helps, - Dave
