Branding Elgg
From Elgg Documentation
You can completely change the look and feel of your Elgg site. Elgg themes are CSS driven so it is a simply a matter of creating your own CSS to change the appearance of your Elgg.
It is also possible to alter the main pageshell - this allows you to change where various components are placed on the page. For example, you may want to create a three column layout - altering the pageshell will allow you to do this.
Getting new themes for your site
This process has been greatly simplified in v0.7 - it is now possible for site admins to drop a theme into /mod/template/templates/ - Elgg will pick the theme up and make it available to your users.
- If you would like new themes for your Elgg install try visiting the theme repository - you just need to unwrap the zip file and drop it into /mod/template/templates/ - that is it.
- The other option is to build you own themes - check out Building themes for detail on how to do this.
