Make your own skeleton CSS file

From version 17.2 of PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF onwards, the User web interface can be customized directly from the Admin web interface. More complex customizations at the level of CSS may be achieved by creating your own skeleton CSS file, and tweaking it as desired. You can read about our built-in customization options as well as methods for CSS customization in the following section of our user manual: Customize the User web interface
