As mentioned earlier, any big changes to the look and feel of JIRA can be achieved only by modifying the CSS files, JSPs, templates, and other tools involved. But JIRA lets its administrators make slightly simpler changes like changing the logo, color scheme, and so on with simple configurations. In this recipe, we will see some examples on how easy it is to make those changes.
There are mainly six things that can be configured to change JIRA's appearance:
- Logo: Understandably, this is one thing everyone wants to change
- Site Title: You can choose to show the Site Title alongside the logo
- Favicon: Similar to the logo, you can upload a favicon
- Colors: JIRA has a nice theme of colors revolving around the color blue. However, we can easily change these colors to suit our taste, or rather the company's taste!
- Gadget colors: For each gadget in JIRA, we can set a different color chosen from a predefined set of colors. We can easily change the predefined list of colors through simple configuration.
- Date and Time formats: The Date and Time formats in JIRA can be modified easily to suit our needs, provided it is a valid format supported by Java's SimpleDateFormat ).
Following are the steps required to make changes to the basic JIRA look and feel.
- Log in to JIRA as an administrator.
- Navigate to Administration | System | User Interface | Look and Feel.
- Click on Edit Configuration.
- Make the appropriate changes
- Click on Update.
Repeat the cycle until the desired result is achieved. We can always revert back to the default settings by clicking on Reset Defaults while editing the configurations.
With some simple changes, the JIRA UI can look a lot different to how it normally looks. The following screenshot is a small example:
It's a small, yet powerful change!
