The Marratech Manager interface is highly
customizable. It uses a combination of Cascading Style
Sheets and Java Server Pages (JSP) to build
its interface and offer functionality.
Cascading Style Sheet
 The
cascading style sheet included with the Manager can be found
in the html subdirectory.
The style.css file lets you
control:
•
Logos and background images
•
Fonts and colors for all the various sections (login box,
room display, etc…)
This is where most administrators will want to do their
modifications. Most look and feel aspects can be controlled
via the style.css file. A restart, after the modification
of the style.css file, is not necessary.

On Mac, the Manager is in a hidden directory
called .MarratechManager.app (notice the dot in front
of the folder's name).
To modify the node.kit file or to access the HTML /
JSP pages easily from the Finder, simply create a shortcut
by opening a Terminal and typing (or copy pasting) the
following command in a single row.
sudo ln -s /Applications/MarratechManager3.5/.MarratechManager.app/Contents/Resources/Java/
MarratechManagerShortcut
This command will create a shortcut to the
main folder within the hidden Marratech Manager folder.
You will be able to see this folder by opening your
Applications/MarratechManager3.5 in your Finder.

 Always backup your html directory before doing any
changes.
If more advanced changes are required than those offered
in the style.css offer, you may edit the JSP files.
Java Server Pages (JSPs)
JSP is a language that executes itself on the server. These
pages dynamically communicate with the internal parts of the
server and present the result in html format on the viewer’s
browser. It offers very powerful integration possibilities.
Only advanced users should attempt modifications in the JSPs.
To view a list of available JSP pages, select the “Advanced” section
of the administrative interface. In the Control Unit section,
press the CTRL @ Central button. Press the “JSP&Servlets” button
to see the list of JSPs available.
From here, you may disable a JSP or compile it if you have
made any modifications.
