Hi! I'm customizing the appearance of OTRS 1.3.2 using a new theme, so I can have a different "look&feel". My experience doing this is good so far, just a bit tricky sometimes.
I would recomend you to create a new theme (http://doc.otrs.org/1.3/en/html/dtl- theme.html) before you make any changes. Another recommendation would be to change the User Interface messages to something clearer to your users. For example, in spanish the translation it's far from perfect (way too literal and too concise: too "computer like" translation) and some terms don't have the same meaning in english and in spanish, and that confused some users. Bye!
