Branding of Reporting Services Web Site

Is there any documentation out there as to how you go about changing the look and feel of the Reporting Services Web Site?

Not being able to apply the corporate 'brand' to the site is the only thing that prevents us from adopting this as the corporate reporting service, from my evaluation of the product so far

Thanks

I don't think you can change the look of reporting services site. But you could in ASP.Net view reports by using the report viewer control which is like a mini interface of reporting services. You can toggle the parameter prompt, the toolbar and some of the options of the toolbar. From your web you can set the parameters and specify the output (excel, pdf, html) programatically.|||Thanks for the response. I was hoping not to have to build my own Web Site as all the functionality that I need is available from the Reporting services site 'out of the box'. Ill keep looking for something to assist in my quest!|||

you should get this book:

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321268288/qid=1149712638/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_11_5/302-7371721-4022418

it contains a good description of the css-files.
but i dont know what happens to your warranty if you touch the files and pimp your report manager.

cheers

|||This is not supported, I saw this mentioned in a posting last week. I once tricked it by swapping out some graphics files. This broke some things from what I remember. The MS staffer who reviewed the other posting suggested that for now branding can be achieved by building a custom implementation.|||

I cant imagine that the need of some other colors which could be achieved by changing some colors in the css would need the whole set of doing a custom app.

Could changing colours be dangerous for the reporting manager?

But that is licensing...
