This chapter follows the NREC example to highlight key tasks and information about configuring the look and feel of the user interface. These tasks lead you through the process of modifying the principal user interface elements based on NREC's requirements. Tasks include modifying graphics, Web templates, and cascading style sheets.

NREC's requirement is to modify the look and feel of the user interface to match their corporate Web site. This includes modifying the shape of tabs and buttons and changing the color scheme.

For the before-and-after look of the user interface, see Figure 30 and Figure 31.
