+# Description
+How to change the look of InDefero
+
+**InDefero** is using the [Pluf Framework][pluf] and as such is very simple to customize. 
+
+Let say, you want to change the base template to load a different style sheet. You can see in `IDF/templates/idf/base.html` line 26, that the `style.css` file is used. So, we are going to change it with another style.
+
+Create a folder, let say `/home/www/indefero/customtemplates/idf` and copy the file `base.html` into it.
+
+Change line 26 of the new `base.html` with:
+
+      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{media '/custom/style.css'}" />
+
+Copy the file `www/media/idf/css/style.css` as `www/media/custom/style.css` and change the content as you need.
+
+## Load the new base.html
+
+To load the new `base.html` file, edit your `IDF/conf/idf.php` file and change the lines:
+
+    $cfg['template_folders'] = array(
+            dirname(__FILE__).'/../templates',
+                                     );
+
+With:
+
+    $cfg['template_folders'] = array(
+            '/home/www/indefero/customtemplates',
+            dirname(__FILE__).'/../templates',
+                                     );
+
+Now, when looking for a template, InDefero will look first in the `customtemplates` folder. That your custom templates will be loaded and not the original one. Using this approach you can change all the templates the way you want.
