The topics in this section is intended for administrators or managers who need to create shared custom configurations and/or modify Together itself in order to meet corporate standards. Power users interested in delving into the low-level customization capabilities of Together may also be interested in this information. The most commonly-needed customizations of the configuration properties can be done from the Options menu with the Options dialog.
The advanced topics cover several common low-level customizations. These are by no means the full range of customization possibilities. If you are interested in some customization that is not covered here, scan the underlying configuration files located in the ./config directory of the installation. The names of these files can give you an idea of what kinds of properties they contain, and viewing the files and their comments can show you what, if any, customizations you can do through them. Customizations that are not possible through configuration properties may still be possible programmatically through the Together API. If you don't see any way to do the customization you want, contact a Together sales or support center.
Altering the user interface requires editing of some of the underlying configuration properties files. These are located in the ./config directory of the installation. Configuration files have a .config extension.
It may also be necessary to edit the resource files referenced by lines in the configuration files. These are located in the ./lib/i18n directory and have a .properties extension. The files in this directory are of particular interest if you want to localize a Together installation as they contain UI strings that would need to be translated to another language.
IMPORTANT: Before modifying any of the configuration or resource properties files, make a backup of the original.
