Can you elaborate a bit on this? If this is meant as adding the support for custom themes, then I don't really think a single purpose system such as this should have this functionality (I would even consider it to be a sign of over-engineering)

[sbunciak]

This is not a single purposed system. It's open(-sourced) and thus anyone can use it. That means every user needs to have a way of modifying the look, preferably as easy as possible.

[jcechace]

The system was never designed to be a general purpose project management system.

Nevertheless providing a custom style is only a matter of packaging the application with custom CSS. Support for custom layouts and such should be quite a low priority in my opinion.

@VaclavDedik What do you think?

[VaclavDedik]

I think it's quite a good idea. I got an email a while ago from a Romanian university asking how to deploy the system so I guess there might be someone who would appreciate such a feature.

Either way, I'd not focus on this right now, there is a backlog of quite a lot of issues that need to be taken care of first. After the issues are resolved, we can maybe start discussing what we want to improve and maybe create a plan for a 2.0 version that could include this. So definitely a low priority atm.

Agreed. Drafting some 2.0 plan and pushing custom branding towards this version makes sense.
