Customize Fisheye/Crucible Look and Feel (Color Scheme)?

[Adam Barylak]

I want to change the color scheme of Fisheye/Crucible. I have downloaded and installed the JSP Source version of Fisheye/Crucible. However, i have not worked with JSP files before, and i also don't know where to start to change the header color and mouseover highlight color. If everything was in straight CSS files in the Content folder, i wouldn't have a problem.

Please help. At least if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks.

I am using Fisheye/Crucible 3.1.4

Hi,

I am glad to say there is new plugin for FishEye and Crucible that enables high-level theme customization.

Check out Atlassian Marketplace page

Hi Adam,

I have created a KB based on the support issue we've investigated together:

It's great that it helped you.

Another note about this:

I used the JSP source installation of Fisheye/Crucible and then also implemented the methods of updating the CSS described in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Customising+FishEye%27s+look+and+feel

To explain: I copied the CSS files i wanted to edit into the FISHEYE_INST/Content/<dir structure> folder. Then i zipped up the files with gzip (i used 7zip to accomplish this on Windows). Then, i was able to Flush the Content cache and get the changes to display (sometimes i had to restart Fisheye, or follow the directions on the Content page to reset the cache completely). This method will allow me to completely overwrite the installation directory while keeping my CSS changes, and only have to make minor changes to the directory tree or file names to keep my color theme after upgrades.

In addition to what is in that KB article, i would like to mention that the header colors for Crucible are also controlled by the same type of CSS as Fisheye. I placed the same CSS for the Fisheye changes into the CSS file for Crucible and was able to change the header colors on the Crucible side with that. Hope that helps anyone else looking to change the theme of Fisheye/Crucible.

just to clarify, i have searched the content of the JSP for simple things like the header background color code, but have only found that color code in tex-shadow css values. (default background color code: #205081)
