Are there any public template available for WebAccess? I know you can edit
them yourself, but perhaps there are people that have templates that are
editable as well?

Note that with GW65sp1 and newer, you can easily make global color
changes, change the logo, etc by modifying the Customization.properties
file in the webaccess templates directory.

Yes, I am searching for some nice color schemes, perhaps even some complete
remake of the login screen would be nice :). Like this login page:
https://gw.scu.edu/servlet/webacc. That's something I really like.

Ok, got it. The login template is one of the easiest to modify... just
edit login.htt in the templates directory (but be careful, it can break
if you put something in the wrong spot... back up the original first!)

You will need to disable template caching (edit it in webacc.cfg) to see
your changes, then re-enable it when you're done.

Also, I do encourage you to look at Customization.properties. You'd be
surprised how different you can make webaccess look with the color
changes and logo capabilities there.

Raw template modifications can be made in 6.0... the template "language"
is virtually identical to 6.5. However, the Customization.properties
"easy" way to change colors and images is not in 6.0
