Programmer's Guide to Site Appearance
Some changes to a site's look or appearance can be made by any administrator, but some changes may require a programmer's intervention. This page provides "where to get started" information.
The first place to look is in the Parms. In particular, look at title, subtitle, icon_src, icon_width, icon_height, icon_nosize, and icon_alttext.
The entire heading area can be replaced with a gif or jpg. See caschool.org for an example of this.
A second place to look is in site.css. Look at other sites' css for examples, or add css from scratch. Here are some suggested values for some attributes.
