View source for Orion/How Tos/How to brand Orion

This page is meant to collect information on the mechanisms for branding an Orion instance.

Ideally things should be customizable without requiring code to be written (server or client-side). Also, it should be possible to adopt a new version of Orion and reapply the branding quickly and an easily automatable way (i.e. by placing files in some locations, by replacing values in property values, by passing startup parameters etc).

* This can be done today by overlaying a different defaults.pref file at the root of the web server. For example this file controls what is available on orionhub: https://orionhub.org/defaults.pref
* There is no pluggable mechanism to do this. See bug 358266[https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358266].
