Configuring GUI

There are serveral aspects of the graphical user interface which can be configured or tailored in powerKNOW:

• Add custom links to the main menu
  Use config key 'customBannerLink' to add up to 3 custom links to the main menu (banner) of powerKNOW.
  
  
• Fonts, sizes, styles
  Most of the layout of powerKNOW can be influenced by style sheets. These style sheets describe how the contents of a web page should be presented by the browser.
  
  All style sheets used by powerKNOW reside in the subdirectoy 'GUI' and the file names end with '.css'. Each style sheet is used for the presentation of a special part of the application (eg.: 'sDocEdit.css' describes the presentation of the document editor). Additionaly 'sGeneral.css' is used by all pages to describe the layout of elements used in all pages (eg.: banner, ...).
  
  See http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ for details on structure, contents and usage of style sheets.
