Project administrators can customize a project to change how it appears to project users using the "Look and Feel" settings in the Admin Console.

This page covers additional tools for customizing the look and feel of a project. Specifically, it covers a method for customizing the left-hand navigation area and the header area with custom text and graphics. It also explains how to ensure that users agree to your terms of use before viewing pages in your project.

Show the Wiki Tab

To replace the left-hand navigation area or the header area for a given project, you must first create custom wiki pages on that project. If you do not see the Wiki tab displayed for your project, follow these steps:

1. Select your project in the left-hand navigation area.
2. Click Manage Project->Customize Folder.
3. Choose "Custom" for the folder type, select the Wiki check box to display the Wiki tab, and click Update Folder.

Create Special Pages

Next, you can create a new page to replace the left-hand navigation pane or the header area, or to require that the user agree to terms of use.

Note that these special pages can only be viewed or modified within the wiki by a project administrator or a site administrator.

Name these special pages as follows:

• To replace the left-hand navigation pane, name the new page _navTree
• To replace the header area, name the new page _header
• To require that users agree to your terms of use, name the new page _termsOfUse

1. Click the [new page] link in the Table of Contents area.
2. Enter the name as specified above in the Name field.
3. Provide whatever title you like in the Title field; the title will show up in the table of contents for the wiki.
4. Include text and images in the Body field. Images may be uploaded as attachments and embedded in the page body; see Wiki Syntax Help for help with embedding images.
