Customizing Roller 2.0 and preserving changes

Situation: as nice as the Roller logo is on the main page :-) I'd like
to replace with a site-specific logo and also alter the page colors a bit.

I know you can edit various files directly, but what's the best way to
do it?

Mostly, I don't want to risk causing future upgrade issues or overwrites
and losing changes at upgrade time.

Can I copy the relevant CSS file that points to the logo, modify the
copy, and repoint Roller to the modified CSS file? Or is there a better
way to do it?

Thanks!

-Dan

try creating a new editor theme by adding a new folder in the "theme" 
directory like the current ones ... tan, sun, blue, etc.  you switch to 
use a different editor theme by setting "editor.theme=<dir>" in your 
roller-custom.properties file.
