Hi Fariss,

I should have asked first ... are you a developer?  Have you worked with modifying Flash-based applications in the past?

yes i'm a developer, but i have not exerience with flash-based applications, i have installed the bbb on this subdomain http://bbb.vidson-medical.fr/, i tried to customize the BBBDefaults.css and compile it to swf, but the syntax is a little different from css, and i have been able to only change the colors, but the height and width of components are not chaging..

Hi Fariss,

You can change the height and width of the components with using the layouts.xml file.  See

To make placement changes or sweeping changes like you want you're going to need to dig into the code and figure it out. What you are looking for could be done, but those are extensive changes not just some CSS changes.

i made a small change in src/org/bigbluebutton/main/views/MainApplicationShell.mxml file, i deleted the bbb.mainshell.copyrightLabel2 text and it works just fine,
then i wanted to change the height of the footerbar, in mx:ControlBar, first time i change the private var footerHeight to 100, but i did not work, then i changed the height in <mx:ControlBar>, also i did not work

after each changes, i rebuild the BigBlueButton client with ant command line, and replace the client folder in /var/www/bigbluebutton with the one in /dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client

all the tests are done in chrome with private nanigation, 
could you please tell me, why id doest not work, and what i should do to change the height of the footerbar, and other changes like adding new content to the footer ?

I would suggest following the development instructions as they're laid out in our documentation (http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/install/setup.html#client-development). If you follow the instructions you won't need to move any files around manually. I also still run into caching issues with Chrome even after all possible precautions. My go to is Firefox and reloading with Shift+F5.
