Styling the Portal Header with Custom ThemesLast Updated: 12/03/2015 Introduced in Verision: 2.0 |
Custom themes can be used to restyle the portal header and other visual elements within the system. To create a custom theme, navigate to System > Themes, select the Create new theme action and, in the resulting pop-up, define the theme’s name and the existing theme which should serve as a template for the new theme.
Example
In our example, we will re-color the portal header from blue to purple by creating a new theme which we will call “Purple”.
We will begin by navigating to System > Themes and selecting the Create new theme button.
In the resulting Create new theme pop-up, we will name our new theme “Purple” and select DarkBlue in the Copy from dropdown.
Our new theme – Purple – will appear in our list of themes. To adjust the colors of our theme, we will select Purple and select the Edit Theme action.
In the resulting Theme editor popup, we will select the Brushes tab. In the Control tree, we will select Portal > Toolbar. In the right-side of the pop-up, we will see a list of the colors being used by the Portal’s toolbar. To change the background, we will select Back. The color will appear under the list. We will select it and select the action Edit to change this color.
In the resulting Edit Color pop-up, we will select a light-purple color and click OK.
In much the same way, we will change Border to a lighter purple. This completes our changes, so we will click the Save button.
Back in our list of themes, we will select Purple and select Set As Default.
We will confirm that Purple should be the new default theme.
When we reload the portal, we will see that the header color has changed to the light purple that we defined in the Purple theme.
