You can make different settings to personalize the appearance of the desktop client. Go to the personalization settings dialog by choosing
and change the settings as needed. The table shows the personalization settings relevant for NWBC for Desktop:
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Appearance |
|
Theme |
You can choose the standard or the high contrast theme. For the standard theme, you can choose between different flavors:
The high contrast theme applies to the shell as well as to Web Dynpro
applications, SAP GUI transactions, and service maps loaded in the
content area. Content embedded as Web URL is not displayed with the
High Contrast theme. If you change the theme
for a SAP GUI transaction, you have to restart NWBC for the change to
take effect.
Note If your administrator has predefined a theme for the
system connection you are using, you can choose between the following
options:
|
Zoom |
Use the slider to increase or decrease the font size. |
Font Size |
Select a font size. |
Accessibility | |
Accessibility Mode |
Activate the accessibility mode to provide input for screen readers that read the Web Dynpro and HTML screens. The rendered HTML pages contain additional HTML coding. Note Be aware that the SAP GUI theme is switched from Corbu to
Signature after you have activated the accessibility mode and restart
NWBC. This cannot be changed when you are working in the accessibility
mode.
|
Logon | |
Hide system selector on startup |
This option is activated by default. NWBC logs on automatically to the last used system connection. If you deselect this checkbox, NWBC displays a system selection screen, just like the normal logon screen, where you can select all the systems that have been configured, change or delete existing connections, and create new ones. |
Entry Page * | Select your entry page from the following selection:
|
Client Language | Select a different language as the client language (the language with which NWBC is started). If no language is specified here, the language defined in Microsoft Windows Region and Language (Format) settings is used. |
Use client language on system logon screen | Select this checkbox to ensure that system logon screens use the same language as the client language (see above). This setting overrules a language predefined in a system connection. It allows you to log on in a different language (than is the default) when authenticating through Single Sign-On; without this, there is no possibility to change the language in the system logon screen. |
Administrator Configuration File | Change the source file for administrator-defined connection configuration settings. |
User Configuration File (Path) | Change the path for your own self-defined connection configuration settings. |
SAP GUI Interoperability | |
Easy Access Favorites in favorites panel * |
Display the Favorites that you have defined in the SAP Easy Access menu in SAP GUI. |
Easy Access Favorites as work center * |
Display your SAP Easy Access Favorites as a work center. |
Use SAP Menu instead of user menu * |
Display the SAP menu instead of the menu defined for your role in PFCG. |
Use SAP GUI theme |
If you want to use a theme for your SAP GUI screens that is different
from SAP Corbu, you can set this theme in the SAP GUI options and define
that this theme is kept by NWBC. For example, you can use different
colors for different systems.
Note Using a different color is a feature
that is available with the themes SAP Signature and Enjoy, but
not with SAP Corbu.
|
Start transaction without validation check * |
When the user enters a transaction and then presses ENTER, the transaction opens in a new tab. The system does not validate if the transaction exists in the user menu or in the back end. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Do not close tabs | Prevent NWBC from closing tabs with SAP GUI transactions when you or a
program navigates back to the SAP GUI entry screen. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Open session in new window |
Select this checkbox to open new SAP GUI sessions in new windows instead of new tabs, which is the default setting. |
Show transaction codes * |
Display the transaction codes (technical names) in addition to the transaction names in the navigation panel. |
Enable SAP GUI OK code |
Display this command field for SAP GUI transactions that run in NWBC. |
Merge system function bar and application bar |
Merge the system function bar and the application bar. |
Show title bar |
Display the SAP GUI title bar of an application in the content area. However, to avoid unnecessary consumption of screen space, the title bar can be hidden. Note that the application title is always shown on NWBC tabs. This option is selected by default. |
Other | |
Open side panel with new tab |
Select this checkbox to display an application and, additionally, its associated side panels. If there is more than one side panel, the system displays the last one that the user selected. By default, this setting is not selected. |
Show tab previews in taskbar |
This option is selected by default. Display tab previews in the taskbar for all tabs that are currently open. |
Show tabs on a separate row |
Users can display the elements in the header area in one row, including the pushbuttons to display the favorites and navigation panels, tabs, and the type-ahead field for the quick launch. This setting helps users to increase the space for the content area by reducing the header height. |
Show animations for tabs |
This checkbox is selected by default. A circular loading bar is displayed when the content of a tab is loading. |
Show system information in status bar |
Display the system information in the following ways:
This helps users to keep an overview of the systems they are currently using when they have multiple windows open in parallel. Note The system information in NWBC is synchronized with the
SAP GUI for Windows status bar. You can activate or deactivate it either
in the personalization settings dialog or in the SAP GUI status
bar.
|
Show system information in tab title |
Select this checkbox to display the system/client information as a prefix in the tab title; this is valid for SAP GUI transactions (system_id, session_nr/client), Web Dynpro ABAP applications, service maps, and NWBC overview pages (system_id, client). |
Show work center links on index page |
This checkbox is selected by default. A link appears when you hover over a work center title on the index page. Clicking the work center title opens the default page. |
