How to customize JForum look'n feel?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Can you summarize the options by which the JForum GUI look'n feel may be customized?

Does the product support the 'skins' concept used in other BBS?

The default template is at templates/default. The css is "style.css". Yes, you can have skins. Just make your own and put it under the "templates" directory.

Open WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties and change the key "templateName" to the name of your template's diretory.

This will improve the admin panel and can make more easy change the skin.

So I still have a question in here.

Within templates/default directory, there are very many .htm files.

To change the skin, what is the minimum set of files which have to be
edited?

Just "style.css"
