Where is the Look and Feel JSP file?

Question

There is this Look and Feel option in every portlet settings:

Look and Feel potlet settings

I want to create hook for this tab. Which JSP file do I have to override? How can I add my custom field in this tab (like Use Custom Title)?

How to find such files:

Look into src/content/Language.properties for a term from your screen with high significance, e.g. Use Custom Title:
```
...
use-custom-title=Use Custom Title
...
```
Now search for a file that contains the key, in our case use-custom-title:
```
portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/portlet_css/view.jsp
```

That is indeed the file you are looking for.

You will need to override `com.liferay.portlet.portletconfiguration.action.UpdateLookAndFeelAction` – Tobias Liefke Dec 08 '16 at 14:31
