Have you done a lot of branding and customizing the output from DITA-OT?

I have not done anything yet but I will need to do this to make a nice looking manual. I want to do a bit of branding and I need to change the fonts in my code examples since most don't fit the width of the blocks and the font and colors are not very attractive in my opinion.

Great resources Ron. Thank you for sharing. FYI I find DITA-OT to be nice and 
powerful. I'm beginning to do some of our own documentation on it.
