Configuration
The user will need to refer to the extensive WebUI/JSPUI configurations that are contained in 5.2.36 JSP Web Interface Settings.

The JSPs are available in one of two places:
...
- _\[dspace-source\]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-webapp/src/main/webapp/_ \ - Only exists if you downloaded the full Source Release of DSpace
_\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-\[version\].dir/webapps/dspace-jspui-webapp/_ \ - The location where they are copied after first building DSpace.Wiki Markup

Heavy use is made of a style sheet, _styles.css_. If you make edits, copy the local version to _\[jsp.custom-dir\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/styles.css_, and it will be used automatically in preference to the default, as described above. Wiki Markup
Fonts and colors can be easily changed using the stylesheet. The stylesheet is a JSP so that the user's browser version can be detected and the stylesheet tweaked accordingly.unmigrated-wiki-markup
The 'layout' of each page, that is, the top and bottom banners and the navigation bar, are determined by the JSPs _/layout/header\-_{*}_.jsp{_}* * and * *_/layout/footer\-_{*}_.jsp_. You can provide modified versions of these (in _\[jsp.custom-dir\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/layout_), or define more styles and apply them to pages by using the "style" attribute of the _dspace:layout_ tag.

- Rebuild the DSpace installation package by running the following command from your _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/_ directory:
Code Block mvn package
Wiki Markup - Update all DSpace webapps to _\[dspace\]/webapps_ by running the following command from your _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-\[version\]-build.dir_ directory:
Code Block ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
- Deploy the the new webapps:
Code Block cp -R /[dspace]/webapps/* /[tomcat]/webapps
- Restart Tomcat Tomcat
When you restart the web server you should see your customized JSPs.
