Changing Style Parameters and Saving Them as a New Theme 

Use

You can create your own theme by:

...

       1.      Selecting an SAP template

       2.      Changing the values for the individual style parameters

       3.      Storing the template under a name of your choice in the Portal Catalog

You may not edit the delivered SAP templates: They are only offered as „read only“ in edit mode. You have to store your changes to the template under a new name.

Prerequisites

You called the Theme Editor. To do so choose System Administration ® Portal Display ® Theme Editor in the administrator role.

Under Theme Templates select the required SAP template and check which parameters you want to copy or change. See also Previewing Style Parameters.

Procedure

...

       1.      On the left side of the screen select an element of the user interface, for example Top-Level Navigation.

In the Preview Area you see what the element looks like in the selected template. The different parameters for the selected element are displayed in the lower part of the screen under Styles.

 

       2.      Edit the relevant parameters.
Change the parameter values or add other logos and images (also see Changing and Swapping Logos and Images).

If you choose the Options link next to the input fields, a dialog box appears. This helps you to select the right value for the current parameter according to the CSS1 standard.

Note that you will only see the effects of a change if you either press the Return key or click on another input field.

       3.      Choose Save As to save the template.

       4.      Enter the following data for your theme:
