Koha's templates use the perl html::template library. If you open one of the .tmpl files up, you'll see that it is HTML with some special markup within html comments.<br><br>You can read up on html:template here: <a href="http://html-template.sourceforge.net/article.html">
http://html-template.sourceforge.net/article.html</a><br><br>The first place I would start if I were you would be the css files. If you just want to customize colors, the css files are the place to go. They will let you modify quite a bit without actually editing the template files.
<br><br>Other than that, I would just look at a few template files and figure out exactly what they are doing. That is how I began to create a an intranet template set for the CCFLS. At first I tried to work with the Default template set, which is practically all css based, but found that the NPL template set fit my paradigm much better. If you look at the CCFLS intranet template set, you will find that even though visually it is quite different from the NPL set, the essential parts are identical.
