With FancyIndexing in Apache, it's possible to create some really nice looking file indexes without much of any HTML coding whatsoever let alone the need for a fancy directory listing application.

.htaccess Setup

Options Indexes

IndexOptions NameWidth=* FancyIndexing FoldersFirst SuppressLastModified SuppressDescription

AddType text/html .html

HeaderName /images/header.html 
ReadmeName /images/readme.html

IndexIgnore /images

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /export/home/jdoe/passwords
Require valid-user

Note the inclusion of the lines HeaderName and ReadmeName. HeaderName refers to the HTML that will come before the directory listing while ReadmeName is the HTML that comes after the directory listing.

Customizing HeaderName

<html>
   <body>
   <style>
      body { background-color: #eee; font-family: Geneve, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; }
      a:link { color: #009; text-decoration: none; }
      a:visited { color: #A78989; text-decoration: none; }
      a:hover { color: #006; }
      h6 { font-size: 16px; font-variant: small-caps; letter-spacing: 2px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px; }
   </style>
