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.

You can create your own look-and-feel and put it under rt_root/local, so 
it's more maintainable.  I created an 
rt_root/local/html/NoAuth/css/Local directory, copied all the 
3.5-default .css files into it, and modified them to my liking, then set 
$WebDefaultStylesheet to 'Local'--it works.
