At the institutional archive where I'm the DSpace administrator, we use the stock XMLUI Reference theme with a few CSS changes to match our institutional brand guidelines. This is fine for our internal needs, but our instance recently started hosting a scanned collection of WW2 records which has attracted some public interest, and I've had complaints from patrons who find the interface difficult to use.
I plan to create a custom theme for this collection and do some basic XMLUI tweaking to remove the interface elements that confuse novice users (multiple search boxes, separate browse menus for the collection and the entire repository), but I'm curious to see whether any institutions have done more extensive customization to create a special-collection-centric DSpace instance. I realize that online exhibits aren't the primary DSpace use case, but I'm interested to know what's possible.
