Introduction
Open-Xchange SP4 will support theming functionality, so that you will be able to create own themes and make them available in the configuration frontend of the Open-Xchange Webinterface. The stylesheet files have been modified with SP4, so that everything that should affect the theming functionality can now be configured within an own theme. Besides also the images can be replaced per theme.
Creating an Open-Xchange Theme
All themes will be stored in the following directory of the Open-Xchange Server:
/var/www/ox6/themes/
Per default you will have at least three themes in this directory: darkseagreen, default and ochre. The easiest way to start with your own theme is to copy the default theme with:
cp -r /var/www/ox6/themes/default /var/www/ox6/themes/[YOUR_THEME_NAME]
Now, you should start modifying your theme, by editing the stylesheet files in /var/www/ox6/themes/[YOUR_THEME_NAME]/css, and exchanging the images from /var/www/ox6/themes/[YOUR_THEME_NAME]/images. The following screenshots will give you an overview of the stylesheet structure, and which tags have to be modified in order to get your theme customized:

Setup description

Each key in this property file must be prefixed with the theme bundle identifier. This is "com.openexchange.themes". The prefix must be followed with the unique identifier of a theme. This unique identifier specifies the directory name of the theme on the web server (/var/www/ox6/themes/ per default), too. The value of the property can be any name to described the theme.
