If you have your own modifications to the osTicket code, here is a tip to help you identify and copy your code over to a new installation or upgrade.

Yes. I am happy to help you install the theme for a flat rate of $70 USD, payable through PayPal. This is adequate in most situations, but if you have atypical requirements and/or your own deep customizations, I am happy to provide additional support at $70 USD /hr.
I am happy to customize the theme for you so that it matches the look and feel of your existing website. This additional support is $70 USD /hr.

Keep in mind, however, that if you upgrade osTicket and/or osTicket Awesome you will lose your customizations.

Therefore, you should consider the trade-off. You may chose to have your osTicket Awesome installation customized knowing that you will avoid upgrading osTicket / osTicket Awesome for a few years (until a really compelling new feature becomes available).
