Hi Swapna,
Portalapp.xml is the configuration file of portal application holding comonents and services. Where as authschemes.xml file is used to determin and tell portal which of the user authentication schemes is to be used. It also tells portal about which logon PAR file should be used. It is defined inside following tags.
<frontendtarget>Logon PAR File Name</frontendtarget>.
Take a scenario for example. You have created a custom logon PAR file and made some changes. You cannot see the changes before deploying it. You have to deploy it first. Now, you want that whenever somone logon to portal, your logon PAR should be referred and executed. Authschemes.xml does this work. It maintains a reference to the PAR file that should be used for logon.
Now, still have to create a custom authschemes.xml file and upload it. (Follow this link for the authschemes file location http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/3afd4e641b8f42ac07bb77fe30375b/content.htm)
Refer this link for details on authschemes.xml file: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/1dd4516c518645a59e5cff2628a5c1/content.htm
Let us see in brief what are the steps executed:
1) You request a portal login
2) Portal, after receiving a request, looks for a reference to which Authschemes file to be used. It finds it in Visual Admin
3) Once portal have the name of authschemes file, it parse this file and determin what are the authentication schemes to be used and which logon PAR should be executed.
4) Only after these steps, it renders logon page to you
Once you do all these steps, you can see the result on logon page itself. You do not have to look for deployed PAR file.

Change in look and feel

Hi
After the Server has restarted the look and feel of the portal has been changed.
could any one tell me what could be the problem for this change?
regards
ambicasony

Ok,

what i am trying to know, is if this new look and feel cames from a portal desktop change or if it is really a bug.

How to change the look and feel for Heading of quick launch menu in project server 2010

Hi
can someone tell me how to change the look and feel of Header names in quick launch.
I want the header to be displayed in Bold with Underline to it.
could this be possible for just header in quick launch in project server 2010.

Hi Rohan
It does not work this way. You have to use a content editor webpart.
See references below that might help you starting with this customisation:

Losing Title Bar when changing Look and Feel on the fly

Hello,
I have an option in my Swing app for the user to change the Look & Feel on the fly by selecting from a radio button list. The look and feel is changed when the user make the selection, however the Windows Title Bar disappears. Any ideas what I'm missing?
private void setLook(String mode)
String lookAndFeelClassName = null;
UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looks[] = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
for (int i = 0; i < looks.length; i++)
if (mode.equalsIgnoreCase(looks.getName()))
lookAndFeelClassName = looks[i].getClassName();
break;
try
m_view.dispose();
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeelClassName);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(m_view);
m_view.setVisible(true);
catch (Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(m_view, "Can't change look and feel:" + lookAndFeelClassName, "Invalid PLAF", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

You are disposing the view. My guess is that this is your problem. Try creating a new one instead of just showing the old disposed one

Edit templates and change the look and feel of apex UI

Hi Friends,
I am trying to change the look and feel of apex pages(change the alignment,color etc) and try to edit the template
of apex pages. Please give me links or tutorials that helps to accomplish this,
Thanks,
Tj

Hello Tj,
You can spend some time on how to create your own Template, but it comes down to design your site in html and then break it into pieces and change the Templates in APEX with that html.
In that html you use tags e.g. #BOX_BODY# to tell APEX where the forms and reports need to come.
In the doc there are some explanations too: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/themes.htm#BABBFHJA
I think the best method is to just try it. Sure we give a course on that too, so it's up to you if you need training on that or the doc/your tries are sufficient or not.
Once you know how things work you can do pretty much everything.
Regards,
Dimitri

Changing the fonts used by the look and feel?

I want to be able to change the font settings for the program I'm writing. Is there any way to do this without writing my own theme and/or LookAndFeel? For example, is there a way to just use the Nimbus Look & Feel, but override the fonts it uses somehow? I've been browsing around and it seems like most solutions are to write your own theme from scratch, which I'd like to avoid if possible (I don't want to change anything else, just the fonts!).
Any help or guidance is very much appreciated. Please let me know if I was unclear.

Thank you both for the links. I realize I didn't ask this initially, and you both answered the question I asked, but I'm actually curious if there's a way to do this consistently across different looks and feels. Just some sort of blanket command that, regardless of what the Look and Feel is, overrides font selections. Perhaps I'm looking for a way to override the mappings of logical fonts? I'm not exactly sure how one would accomplish it.
I don't do this because I want to force the user into using a specific font, but actually I'm trying to add a feature that allows the user to override the Look & Feel's font choices with their own if they so choose.
But I can't control what Look and Feel they're using (well, I can, but I have chosen not to).
Does any of that make sense?

Having trouble setting the look and feel

hi, i've almost finished my app and am trying to improve it's appearance. I'm trying to change the look and feel but i can't seem to get any changes to take effect. i've been reading through the tutorial on L&F but obviously am not 'getting' something.
At the moment all I'm trying to do, is to add the line below. I'm not totally sure where to put it though. I've tried putting it in the main method and nothing happens. I've also tried putting i the CreateandShowGUI() method and that doesn't seem to do anything either.
Where should it go?
try {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println("Could not initialize java.awt Metal lnf");
    }

Put it before you start assembling your GUI, ie. instantiating and adding components.

Give me Guidence on the Look and Feel

Hi ,

Everything is working fine.but the problem is under Footer, global links are not visible and also no space between the copyright and Privacy statement. how i will resolve this problem. please help me on this.
Regards,
Chandra.

Chandra,
Have you used the "Customizing Look and Feel Administrator Responsibility" to create the new look and feel.
That has some bugs.
If you have followed the standard way of doing it, you can log a SR with support and ask.
Please refer the following notes,
Note 412718.1 - How To Change The Colour And Fonts Size In 11.5.10.2 Version
Note 566578.1 - Change the look-and-feel of Oracle Applications Using
CLAF(UI)
This might help.
Thanks.

How does one goes on building an Icon with the 'Look and Feel' of an Icon?

Hello everybody, I work as a Graphic Designer for a company that is asking me to create an Icon for a software that we own, I am having trouble as to how do i go building one, I use Illustrator and Photoshop but I am not sure how to give the Icon the 'Look and Feel' of an Icon, the colors look a bit different and so the 'texture' of my vector image. If anyone can explain me or point me to a good website that explains how should I go on building an icon so it looks like an Icon that will be great. I thank you in advance for any reply that you can give me regarding the subject.

don't know what you mean by "look and fell of an icon". You could go to vectortuts.com - it has lots of tutorials on the creation of different icons. Also check hicksdesign.co.uk for their presentations on icon concepts

Dude. this is just for making the L&F look as native platfrom.
Its better than using motif or some that kinda L&F.

String nativeLF = UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName();
     // Install the look and feel
     try {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel(nativeLF);
     } catch (InstantiationException e) {
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
     } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e) {
     } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
Dont forget to import this :
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;
