This is Apaxy.

Apaxy is a customisable theme built to enhance the experience of browsing web directories. It uses the mod_autoindex Apache module—and some CSS—to override the default style of a directory listing.

Features

Apaxy may be basic, but it gives you a great deal of creative freedom when styling your directory.

• Style your directory listing with CSS.
• Make it pop with Javascript or jQuery.
• Add welcome messages, download instructions or copyright notices.
• Add custom mime type icons (requires editing the .htaccess file).

!Sadly, visual style is all you can work with. It's not possible to alter the generated table structure of the listing directory with Apaxy.

Installation

Apaxy requires an Apache(2.0.23+) enabled HTTP server.

Let's assume you have a folder named share in your server root directory (the path thus being http://mywebsite.com/share) that you'd like to use as your listing directory:

• Download and unzip Apaxy.
• Copy and paste the contents of the /apaxy folder to your /share folder.
• Edit htaccess.txt (now in the /share folder) and update all instances of paths marked with {FOLDERNAME} to point to your site root.

AddIcon /{FOLDERNAME}/theme/icons/gif.png .gif

Should be changed to…

AddIcon /share/theme/icons/gif.png .gif

• Once done, rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess in both the /share and /share/theme folders.

That's all there is to it. Your /share folder—and any of its subdirectories—will no longer be hideous.
