Mulitsite comes with it's default layout which contains of the default
style definitions and the images used in the different pages.
There are different ways to customize the look of multisite. The easiest
and most common way would be to customize the stylesheets and images.
Multisite does not come with a template engine or similar - so it is not easy
to customize the gernerated HTML code without modifying the core code of
multisite.
Multisite uses only one single stylesheet file. It is called check_mk.css
and can be found in the root directory of multisite /usr/share/check_mk/web/htdocs (OMD:
~/share/check_mk/web/htdocs to modify the file copy it to ~local/share/check_mk/web/htdocs/check_mk.css and customize it there).
The file is splitted in several sections separated by some figlet strings (the BIG titles).
Below these titles you should find some short hints which pages/elements of multisite are
affected by the single definitions.
