MediaSpace allows you to override the default style that is included in the application. The default style is defined in bootstrap.css. Since the default theme in MediaSpace is built on top of the Twitter Bootstrap framework, you can provide a standard Bootstrap CSS and override the default style that MediaSpace provides out of the box.
This article describes how to “skin” MediaSpace and adjust it to your brand colors.
We have added Static Classes support to facilitate CSS customization of the theming-based pages. See reference in KMS Version 5.114.4x November 13, 2023.
Uploading your Own Custom Style
You can create your own custom Bootstrap CSS and upload it via the MediaSpace Administration Area. You can write a CSS using your favorite CSS editing tool, or use own of the many dedicated Bootstrap tools that generate a standard Bootstrap CSS without the need to do any coding. Refer to the Kaltura MediaSpace Styling Guide for information on how you can create your own custom CSS file before you upload it to MediaSpace.
