To have an interface like: http://marineproject.openearth.nl/geonetwork/srv/eng/search#fast=index&from=1&to=50 instead of the default html5 gui, only a few files need to be edited.
Anyone familiar with web development can use the developer tools in a web browser and the relevant directory apps/html5ui/.
Edit the site logo in css/main.css and use for example the following file: sitelogo.png which should be placed in images directory.
For color styling, use css/colors.css. These two files as used by the marineproject geonetwork can be found found here: colors.css and here: main.css. For uploading use something like scp or sftp. WinSCP and Filezilla are relevant programs.
