 The Journal Manager can manipulate various aspects of the look of an OJS journal, without knowing very much in the way of css or HTML. There is a page devoted specifically to changing a journal's look, found under User Home --> Journal Manager --> Setup --> Step 5: The Look. The following instructions in this section all relate to this page.

 Changes made to one stylesheet can be overridden by another stylesheet. For example, since the <tt>fontSize</tt> css files are last in the listed order, they are processed last by your browser, and their rules are applied last, overriding every other stylesheet before it. This is good to keep in mind when it comes to troubleshooting. So long as you don't edit the already-existing stylesheets, and keep to uploading your own modifications, this shouldn't be a problem.

		+	== Adding a Multilingual Interface ==
		+
		+	OJS supports several languages, such as English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Translations are also underway for more languages in the near future. This allows your readers to have all of the links, text, and help files in their own language.
		+
		+	You can make your journal unilingual in any of the languages supported by OJS, or you can make your journal multilingual, by activating a drop-down language selector.
		+
		+	To do this, your Site Administrator will need to install Languages from the Site Management menu. From here, the Site Administrator must install any available languages to use with the journal, check them off as supported by the journal.
		+
		+	Second, the Journal Manager must activate the all of the languages you wish to support, under User Home --> Journal Management --> Languages.
		+
		+	If more than one language is enabled, users will be able to use a drop-down menu on the sidebar to choose a preferred journal-wide display language. There will also be the option of entering text in different languages where appropriate, such as throughout the Journal Setup process, and when authors submit an article for consideration.
		+
		+	== Adding a Splash Screen ==
		+
		+	Another way to add some artistic appeal to your journal is by adding a splash screen, which appears before users are taken to the journal. Cosmos and History ([http://www.cosmosandhistory.org]) provides a very nice example of this:
		+
		+	[[Image:SplashScreen1.jpg]]
		+
		+	Which leads, in turn, to their main page:
		+
		+	[[Image:SplashScreen2.jpg]]
		+
		+	This is done by simply creating an index.html file for the splash screen, and adding a link to the journal home page. In this case, the link is labelled "enter site".
		+
		+	== Adding MP3 Support ==
		+
		+	An innovative customization from The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning ([http://www.irrodl.org/]) is the addition of audio versions of their articles, using MP3 files:
		+
		+	[[Image:Mp3.jpg]]
		+
		+	The audio files were recorded outside of the OJS system, but were uploaded as supplementary files, associated with each article. This was done by the Section Editor, in the Submissions Summary section. Other types of files can be added, including video.
		+
		+	These could also be added by the author, as part of their submission process.
