New Look

I decided to try installing some skins to give users some customization on the Pidora Bugzilla site when it is ready. The two I decided to try out were Flat Green and Brown Curvy. Below are screen shots of each.

Dusk (Default)

Flat Green

Brown Curvy

The installation process was pretty simple, and I did not really encounter any real issues, besides trying to find the bugzilla folder that holds additional skins. The installation process is below:

• wget ftp://ftp.heterodyne.us/pub/Bugzilla/FlatGreen.tgz
• wget https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/e/ef/Browncurvy.zip
• for the tgz file: tar xzvf FlatGreen.tgz
• for the zip file: unzip Browncurvy.zip

Move the folders created to /usr/share/bugzilla/skins/contrib/

mv FlatGreen /usr/share/bugzilla/skins/contrib
mv BrownCurvy /usr/share/bugzilla/skins/contrib

Once both folders have been moved, enter the command:
/usr/share/bugzilla/checksetup.pl

This will precompile the templates and fix any file permissions due to the mv command; sample output below.

After this process, I was able to select the new screen from my preferences menu.
