I think I've seen a JIRA about the ability to change the stylesheet of the console, so it seems like an already envisioned enhancement to the console. I haven't dived to much into the code, so I'm not sure how all non-html resources are loaded. We need to find a mechanism to to allow someone to override those resources. Maybe we can use the same as we did for rebranding karaf: use an optional import package which will be used if present, else default to the other resources. This package has to be exported by the branding bundle.
