Krishna,

You need to dig in and modify the CSS files to change the look of the RT web interface. I don't know how you installed RT, but on my system (Ubuntu Linux) those files are in /usr/local/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/css/3.5-default/

The RT html output is pretty thoroughly marked up with divs, making it possible to have fairly fine-grained control of how everything looks. I would recommend the Firefox Web Developer extension

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60

for a quick way to identify how the divs are arranged. If you're not familiar with CSS then you'll need to track down some additional resources. More substantial modifications to the web interface require overriding some of the default mason components. See the following wiki page for more information on that.

BTW, it's probably not terribly useful to send mail directly to Jesse, Ruslan, or the rt-users-request address. Post your questions here, and you'll have the best chance of a reply.
