Jira customize CSS

Hello,

I have a custom css file that I would like to apply to an instance of Jira 5.2.4 to overrule the default CSS. In what folder of the install should I place this file so that it can be applied?

cheers

Jason

You can simply add the following code linking to your css to the announcement banner to make it work :)

1	`<LINK` `href="http://jiraserver/includes/my_css_files/mystyle.css"` `rel="stylesheet"` `type="text/css">`

Hey, thanks for the reply. I had seen this option before but it gives me the impression of a hack and not the proper way of doing things. Is there not a way I could add it to the Jira install folder with all the rest of the CSS?

We had multiple serious bugs with Jira related to the presence of the announcement banner (not related to the content itself of the banner). It seems that the QA team at atlassian is not testing them and expect to have to disable it in order to allow people to use jira properly. Usually these were related to GH.

So, I would be happy to find another place were we can inject out custom CSS.

For what it's worth, I've put on GitHub a custom CSS that gives a more condensed layout (tested on JIRA 6.3.15) : https://github.com/mossroy/jira-custom-css

Any changes you make in the JIRA install folder will be lost when you next upgrade.

The proper way to do this is to write a simple JIRA plugin that includes the CSS as a web-resource.

<web-resource name="Resources" key="resources">
       <resource name="foo.css" type="download" location="resources/foo.css"/>
       <context>atl.admin</context>
       <context>atl.general</context>
</web-resource>

Thank you both. My boss does not want me to bother trying to create a pluggin so I will go with the banner method.

Not only was that comment completely unproductive and immature but it was 6 months too late to be witty. Don't pollute forums with negative, pointless opinions.
