# Install Templates

Since NagVis 1.1x you can add templates to customize the look of header- and hover-menus. You can get some of these templates at the NagVis template download page.

Please note: The directory structure changed between the NagVis version several times. So there may be compatibility problems between the versions.

## Unpack Template

Unpack the NagVis template in a path of your choice.

    tar xvzf NagVis-Template-<name>-<version>.tar.gz

## Install NagVis-Template

Merge the NagVis-Template directory tree with your NagVis Folder (default /usr/local/nagvis/share/userfiles/templates).

    cp -r nagvis /usr/local/nagvis/share/userfiles/templates

## Configure

Now you should be able to use the new template in NagVis. You only have to configure the maps or objects to use the template.

### Header-Templates

You can set the header template in the main configuration of NagVis or in the global section of the map configuration. For details see map configuration format description.

### Hover-Templates

You can set the hover template in the main configuration for all your maps, in the global section of a map for all the objects on this map or in each object for having a custom hover menu for special objects. For details see map configuration format description.
