Portal Themes
Purpose
A
portal theme defines the visual appearance of the control elements, font size,
colors, and contrast of the user interface elements of a
portal desktop. A
portal theme does not define the layout, structure, or contents of a
portal desktop. This is defined by the
default framework
page.
Neither the framework page nor the portal theme are
directly assigned to a user. Combinations of framework pages and portal themes
result in portal desktops. Portal desktops are assigned to users. See also
Portal Display
Rules (Rule Collections).
You can develop your own portal themes by using one of the theme templates provided by SAP (such as SAP Chrome or SAP Streamline) for:
· Changing the color scheme of the portal
· Changing the font type and size
· Including your own company logo
For an
overview of the themes delivered with the portal, see
Portal Themes in the
Standard Content Delivery.
Implementation Considerations
You create a portal theme in the Theme Editor. You access the Theme Editor in the delivered administrator role by choosing System Administration ® Portal Display ®Theme Editor.
You use the Theme Editor to edit a fixed number of theme properties (such as background color). The corresponding stylesheets are generated automatically and do not need to be edited directly.
The Theme Editor supports the CSS1 standard for cascading stylesheets.
Some of the functions of the Theme Editor are not
available under Mozilla Firefox. See
Using the Theme Editor
under Mozilla FireFox.
The following tools and functions are available with the Theme Editor:
· Theme Transport
Allows you to export and import your own themes.
● ITS Theme Generator
Allows you to generate ITS stylesheets.
· Theme Integrity Test
Supports error detection.
You can find all these tools and functions in the delivered administration role under System Administration ® Portal Display.
Integration
The following stylesheets can be changed with the Theme Editor:
· The stylesheet for the entire portal
· All ITS-based IACs and SAP MiniApps (with Release 4.6C and higher)
