[Engine-devel] Introducing limited branding support.

[Alexander Wels]

Hi Guys,

We recently merged at a patch (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13181/) that allows 
for limited branding support of oVirt user portal and web admin. We also moved 
the styles needed to support this branding out of the application and into its 
own module. The styles can now be found in ovirt-
engine/packaging/branding/ovirt.brand.

In this directory you will find the following files:
- branding.properties. This file controls the branding theme.
- ovirt_messages.properties. A standard java resource bundle properties file 
containing the messages that can be changed.
- A bunch of .css files that contain the classes that can be altered.

I have created a wiki page with some information and pictures of what parts of 
the interface can be changed at this point in time. It is located here: 
http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/Branding

There is also more information in README.branding that got introduced with 
this patch.

ps.
If your user interface looks messed up (missing borders and things of that 
nature) the engine cannot find the default branding. This means you are not 
using the make commands recently introduced. We highly recommend you use this 
to have a complete environment. If you are unwilling or unable to use that you 
can make a symlink in /etc/ovirt-engine/branding/00-ovirt.brand to ovirt-
engine/packaging/branding/ovirt.brand
