Better colors

[wiegandr]

Hello all - I have been using OTRS 5.x for quite sometime and it is really hard on your eyes after several hours. It doesn't matter if it is orange or light blue, your eyes will will stress. We have also users who require a higher contrast color setup. Is there a way to change the light orange/light blue to a dark blue or black?
Thank You for your help

There absolutly is. You'd have to modify the css files. Best way to do so would be to create a custom skin.

Thank You for your response - Can you share a link on how to do so? Or any how-to? This would be greatly appriciated.
Thank You

Sure. Here's the link to the manual:

You don't need to copy the whole css files, but only the parts which you want to change. For example if you want a new color in the header, you'd create this file:
~otrs/var/httpd/htdocs/skins/Agent/NameOfYourSkin/css/Core.Header.css

and write into it:

Code: Select all

#Header {
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#660000);
  background: -o-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#660000);
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#660000);
  background: linear-gradient(#FFFFFF,#660000);
}
