Hi Dave,
Thanks for your valuable input. Though I know struts, I will be first
trying the first approach. can you tell me where I have to put
roller-custom.properties file ?
Right now I see it in webapp\roller\roller-ui\docs\examples\rollertask

You can customize the front-page by creating a front-page blog theme,
but to customize the login page and the editor/admin UI there are two
approaches.
The first one is to use the undocumented editor/admin UI theme
capability. If you look in the directory /web/roller-ui/theme you will
find three directories sun, blue and tan. These are three different
themes for the editor/admin UI. You can pick one by specifying the
property 'editor.theme' in your roller-custom.properties file. By
default editor.theme=tan.
If creating your own theme directory does not give you enough control,
then you will need to understand Struts2 and Tiles. Look in
WEB-INF/tiles.xml for the tiles config and then under
WEB-INF/jsp/tiles for the tiles referenced by tiles.xml. You can
modify those as needed, but remember, next time a Roller release comes
out you may have to do some annoying merges.
Hope that helps,
- Dave
