I was working on translating Alfresco share to Arabic i.e to RTL format.

Reading a comment from here I found out that the best way to proceed is to Create a custom extension pulling in an additional CSS file with the styling modifications.

Now coming to the question, I've encountered a problem while altering the css files to support RTL. The problem was that some css files were situated inside aikau-1.0.101.10.jar file. Can anyone help me on how to alter these css files ? or Can I override these files somehow ?

Some ways to do this:

  1. You can create your own theme
  2. Override LESS variable link
  3. Fork Aikau and build your own jar link
  4. Create an extension to include your own css file link

  • **Override LESS variable** and **You can create your own theme** Answering on these.. I did try to create an own custom theme and overide the LESS variable. But this does not work for my problem. The LESS variables are only been there for the **css attributes** such as for **color** and **background color**. What I'm trying to do is to change the direction attributes such as **float:right** to **float:left** and so on. – Paul Clinton Aug 03 '18 at 09:51
  • And for the other one i.e **Create an extension to include your own css file** using this too I think I wouldn't be able to override the css files in the aikau-1.0.101.10.jar. As I've read and understood from this (https://community.alfresco.com/thread/185224-extension-module-to-customize-login-css) link is that, you can add your custom css to the custom page created [for example: the login page that the person is trying to create]. – Paul Clinton Aug 03 '18 at 09:51
  • **Fork Aikau and build your own jar** This method would probably work, but is there no other ways of making this possible? – Paul Clinton Aug 03 '18 at 09:58
