 ## What This Is
 
-oshelpdesk restyles the osTicket 1.18.x support portal and staff panel with a professional navy/gold identity. It ships as plain CSS and JS plus a bootstrap installer — no osTicket core logic is modified.
+Stock osTicket looks like stock osTicket. oshelpdesk restyles the 1.18.x support portal and staff panel with a navy/gold identity, delivered as plain CSS and JS plus a bootstrap installer. No osTicket core logic is modified — the installer injects `<link>`/`<script>` tags into the two header includes, so auth, LDAP/AD, and all PHP behavior are untouched.
 
-The theme is delivered through two stylesheet-plus-script pairs (client portal and staff panel) that read their colors and spacing from a single `helpdesk-tokens.css`. `deploy.sh` clones a pinned, official osTicket release, copies the theme assets into the expected paths, and auto-patches the two header includes so the theme loads — idempotently, with `.bak` backups.
+Both surfaces read colors and spacing from one `theme/css/helpdesk-tokens.css`, so re-skinning the whole deployment means editing a single file.
 
 ## Quick Start
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/OneByJorah/oshelpdesk.git && cd oshelpdesk
-./deploy.sh                 # clones osTicket v1.18.2 into ./osticket and installs the theme
-# or target an existing install:
-./deploy.sh /var/www/html
+git clone https://github.com/OneByJorah/HelpDeskForge.git && cd oshelpdesk
+./deploy.sh /var/www/html   # or omit to clone osTicket v1.18.2 into ./osticket first
 ```
 
-Point your web server's document root at the target directory, then hard-refresh with **Ctrl+Shift+R**.

 ## Features
 
-- **Navy/gold theme** — a consistent brand palette driven by one tokens file.
-- **Client portal + staff panel** — separate stylesheets for each surface.
-- **Dark mode support** — easy-on-the-eyes scheme.
-- **Mobile responsive** — adapts to phones and tablets.
-- **LDAP/AD compatible** — purely presentational; authentication is untouched.
-- **No backend changes** — CSS/JS only; the installer injects header tags, it does not alter PHP logic.
-- **Idempotent deploy** — marker-guarded injections (`HELPDESK-THEME-INJECT`) and `.bak` backups; safe to re-run.
-- **Standalone previews** — `preview/index.html` and `preview/staff-preview.html` render the theme without an osTicket install.

-## Install paths
-
-### Automated (`deploy.sh`)
-
-```bash
-./deploy.sh [TARGET_DIR]        # default TARGET_DIR is ./osticket
-OSTICKET_TAG=v1.18.2 ./deploy.sh
-```
-
-The script fetches the official osTicket source (this repo does not vendor a copy), copies `theme/css`, `theme/js`, and the logo asset, then patches:
-
-- `include/client/header.inc.php` → tokens + client portal CSS/JS
-- `include/staff/header.inc.php` → tokens + staff panel CSS/JS
-
-### Manual injection
-
-Follow [install/CLIENT_INJECTION.md](install/CLIENT_INJECTION.md) and [install/STAFF_INJECTION.md](install/STAFF_INJECTION.md) to add the `<link>` and `<script>` tags after osTicket's own stylesheet reference.

+- **One tokens file** — `helpdesk-tokens.css` drives the palette for both surfaces; rebrand by editing it once.
+- **Two skins, both themed** — separate `helpdesk-client-portal.css` and `helpdesk-staff-panel.css` so each side is styled independently.
+- **Idempotent installer** — `deploy.sh` marks injections with `HELPDESK-THEME-INJECT` and writes `.bak` backups; safe to re-run.
+- **Mobile responsive + dark mode** — the theme adapts to small screens and ships a dark scheme.
+- **Standalone previews** — `preview/index.html` and `preview/staff-preview.html` render the theme with no osTicket install, so you can iterate on CSS without a live helpdesk.
