Customize look and feel

I am looking to customize the look and feel of Collaboration Suite namely the page banner and colours for all users (global settings not individual settings). However I cannot find a way to edit the OCS_V2_PAGE_BANNER.

Can you detail your steps on how you are trying to change this? Also, who are you logged in as?
Here are the steps:
Log into the portal page with the admin account.
Select Builder
Select Navigator
Click on the Contents link for OCS_V2_Page_Group section under Page Groups
Click on Navigation Pages
Click on the Edit link to change the OCS_V2_PAGE_Banner.
To change the colors, you can click on the Customize link on the top right hand corner of the page.
Choose the style tab and then change the style you want to change it to.
Let me know if this help.

EBS customize Look and Feel

I'm looking at changing the look and feel or design of the pages in E-Business Suite. I have learned some ways on how to go about it. But First I need to download all the files (.xml, .uix, .class, .jsp) related to EBS.
Now where do i get these files or what folders do i get those files?
anyone who has tried to do this also..
regards,
anton

Hi,
I'd suggest you to read the "OA Framework Personalization Guide" and the "OA Framework Developer's Guide" docs.
You can find them on Metalink (#268969.1 and #269138.1).
Hope this helps you.

Create or Customize a look and feel

I'd like to create my own java look and feel and I wonder if a tool that allows to create or customize my laf exists ? What's the better or faster way to do so ?

LookAndFeel lf = UIManager.getLookAndFeel();
         // Install a different look and feel; specifically, the Windows look and feel
         try {                         //com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
                                        //javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
         UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
         } catch (InstantiationException e) {
         } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
         } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
         } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
         }

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.
Greetings!

JFrame look and feel

Hi everybody,
I'm a beginner in working with Java Look and Feel. I want to customize a frame's title bar, border and buttons. For example I want to put some other icons for the close, minimize and maximize button, change the height and color of the titlebar, and put some other border to the window.
My question is if I can do this by modifying the LAF. Maybe somebody can give me a link to some good and detailed documentation regarding LAF.
Thanks.

Hi,
You have a better chance to get your question answered if you post this in the Swing forum. (Do also mention that it is a cross-post, and provide a link to this thread)

Customisin Look and Feel

I am still in the process of "finding my feet" when it comes to programming with Java, and as a result need a little guidance.
Could anyone please tell me of a good place to find information that offers tutorials or good explanations of how to customize the look and feel of JComponents in swing.
Much appreciated,
Craig.

Take a look at the java source code for the SwingSet2 demo that comes with the java plugin...it's exactly what you need.

HTMLB or html - when we need full control of look and feel and events

Hi Experts,
In my requirement i need to change the look and feel of the BSP UI as per customer standards and i need to have most of my processing on client side, Please advise me whether to go for HTMLB or normal HTML. mainly i fount most of the client side events are not available in HTMLB....
Thanks in advance
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
The look and feel of the BSP Tags can be applied via Portal. If you are seeing your BSP application through a protal system, then you can develop a theme inside the portal and apply it to your BSP application. The portal theme will be automatically supported by the HTMLB tags. For more infomation on this you can search in the portal forum section, you will find a lot of post for this topic.
But if you need a complex customization of the UI controls inside the BSP application, as suggested in the previous post you should go for HTML + Javascript library.
Hope it is helpful!

Modifying Quiz look and feel

This question has likely been asked before, but I did a
search of the forum and couldn't find a specific posting. My
company has just purchased me a copy of Captivate 2, so some of it
is a bit new to me.
My question is....
Can the visual components of a quiz slide (such as the button
style) be modified directly in Captivate 2? I get how to modify the
player controls, but can't seem to find any files where I can do
the same to quiz slide components.
If I can not do this directly in Captivate, would I be able
to do this without breaking anything, by exporting a project to
Flash?
The company I work for would like to customize (think
"branding") the Captivate generated controls and general look and
feel of a finished project. This would be so that different, less
technical developers, could create materials that had the same
style.
Any resources anyone can point me toward would be
appreciated.
Thank you,
TPK

I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

Customizing Look and Feel

Is there a way to customize the "look and feel" of the OID webtool?
Also, is there any way to change what is displayed as a result of performing a search? Specifically, I'd like to extend the searchable fields to include businessCategory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I assume you are talking about the OID in iAS 9.0.2 and on this release it's not possible.
It should be possible in 10G, but I'm not sure.
We gave up and has developed our own GUI's for the OID application.

Customizing Look and Feel -- examples

Greetings
I recently started looking into how I could customize a Skin that was more suited for the particular users of Oracle, one to replace the standard blue Swan.
The first steps were well document and I managed to edit the general look and feel. However, a practical example of how to change a particular component would do a lot to help me understand and implement other less general changes.
I Wanted to change the color of the text for SNAV.Menu and SNAV.Fav within GlobalHeader
I was able to change this in file "OAFSlideoutMenu.css" which is under $OA_HTML/cabo/styles ... but then it changes for all Skins, the default swan as well.
Can anyone provide an example of how to change this by using my "[custom]-desktop.xss" file ?
I appreciate the assistance!
