A bit more information would be useful… for example there are hundreds of forms through Share, is there one form in particular that you want to change or are you trying to change the styling for forms overall (or something else?). When you say that you want to change the layout, what exactly are you trying to do?

You'll find most of the forms related code under "/Web Framework Commons/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/form" in the source tree. The "/Web Framework Commons/source/java/org/alfresco/web/scripts/forms/FormUIGet.java" is the main class used by the forms webscript for getting the form data and most of the rendering is handled by macros defined in "/Web Framework Commons/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/form/form.lib.ftl"

Sorry for not being specific on my ideas.

What I am trying to figure out is: I want to change any layout of document actions on Alfresco's menu which are:
Download
View in Browser
Copy to..
Move to.
and so on..

Do you know what I mean?

They have a default layout for their web pages when clicking on one of these buttons.

I am in a need to change them by somehow.

I hope you are going to be able to understand.

See you
Thank you very much for replying my question.

You can update the XML configuration to alter the actions that are displayed in both the document library and document details pages… there are numerous blog posts on doing this, try these to start with to see if they provide the information that you need:
