Change the look and custom themes, masterpage problem

I have created a masterpage and deployed it to the masterpage gallery.
I have created a spcolor file and a spfont file and deployed them to the theme catalog.
I have also created a New item in the composed look list like this:
Masterpage: /_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.seattle.master
Theme: /_catalogs/theme/15/mycustom.spcolor
Font: /_catalogs/theme/15/mycustom.spfont
Image: none
DisplayIndex 3
The problem is this: The theme is not displayed in the Change the look preview window.
But if i change the masterpage back to std (/_catalogs/masterpage/seattle.master) in my composed look item. THEN it is displayed ??
Changing back to my custom masterpage, then it disappears.
Everything looks right, i can apply the theme through code. Masterpage is also changed in code and works.
The only place it doesn't work is in change the look.
The masterpage is deployed like this:
<Module Name="MasterPages" List="116" Url="_catalogs/masterpage" Path="MasterPages" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
    <File Url="mycustom.seattle.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
      <Property Name="UIVersion" Value="15" />
      <Property Name="ContentTypeId" Value="0x010105" />
    </File>
</Module>
What am i missing ??

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.

Dimitri

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:

Custom Composed Look not appearing in Change the Look with custom color palette

Hi,
I created custom color palette, (which was a copy of one of the out of the box ones) and uploaded it to the Themes folder under a different name. I then went to the Composed Looks and created a new Composed Look(using the New
Items), which the seattle master page, and the new color palette that I created.
When I go to Change a Look, the new Composed Look does not appear as part of the options.
When I change the color palette of the Composed Look, to one of the out of the box ones, I see it I the Change a Look page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I would check two things. First, did you check in the spcolor file you created? Second, I would review all of the properties of your composed look found in "/_catalogs/design/AllItems.aspx". You might want to copy and paste all properties (except
title and name) and see if your new composed look shows up in "Change the look". Then link to your own custom spcolor file.

Changing the look and feel of BSP pages(HAP_DOCUMENT)

Hi all,
My client doesn't like the standard layout of the appraisal documents. The standard BSP application used for this is HAP_DOCUMENT.
I am trying to change the font type and sizes etc in the layout. I read about CSS. But i am not able to understand how to use these Cascade Style Sheets in BSP application.
i went through the BLOG <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1117">BSP/HowTo: CSS Hints - Custom Design for your BSP Applications</a>(did some home work)
. it does givean idea about the CSS. but i am not sure how to use in my case.
For example i want to change the font size of the appraiser name. in the layout of the page there is the below code:

          <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName   = "APPRAISER_NAME"
                                 wrapping     = "true" >
          </htmlb:tableViewColumn>
but no attribute to change the font. and for many other fields, they are not mentioned in the layout.....
so how do i change the style without that being in the layout....
If any one worked on changing the layout of BSP applications please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
manasa

Hi rohit!
Thanks a lot for your inputs. I am trying to use the CSS sheet option as i have to make many more changes in the application other than the fonts(like change the width of the box, line spacing etc).
I am trying to get the standard style sheet used in this application so that i can make changes. but in the appl i am not able to find the exact style sheet being used.
in the layout_sap_standard.htm view i see tthis statement <htmlb:content design="DESIGN2002+DESIGN2003" and then this view includes the file document_header.htm so i went into this page fragment document_header.htm and i dont see any usefful information in layout.
So i went to the MIME reporitory and looked for DESIGN2003+DESING2002 and i found SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/design2002. i see so many css files under that folder. so as a trial i looked at the source code of the page and i found some statemnts which are given in the layout of the page like " cellpadding="0" id="htmlb_gridlayout_2" class="urGridLayout" etc...but icouldnot find any command pointing towards the cssfiles...
i am totally lost.....
i tried to attach some screen shots but was not able to do that here.....
can you please help me out here.....if you dont mind please give me ur email id so that i can send you in detail what i am trying to achieve....
i have spent many hours doing research on this and now i have to deliver the work to the client soon....
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks once again

Swapna

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.

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 to change the look of the ESS Overview page

Hi,
We are implementing ESS/MSS and would like to change the look (font size and color, background color, ...) of only the Overview page (Area Group Page). From what I understand when a theme (css) is used it is applied to an entire Portal Desktop, not to a single page. And since the Overview page is a Web Dynpro application (part of the Floor Plan Manager), it doesn't seem possible to change the look besides using themes.
Of course we would like to keep the possibility to configure this page using IMG so rebuilding it from scratch is not really an option.
Any idea how this could be done?
Thanks,
Martin

Thanks Srikanth,
As far as I know it is not possible to change the font size or color of the overview page using IMG.
But I found a way of applying a theme to a single Web Dynpro application running inside the portal, like the Overview page. You need to specify the theme in the iView property editor using the Application parameter sap-cssurl. The feature is there and more or less documented, the only problem I am still not able to make it work, the portal theme is always used. It is also possible to change the theme of <i>all</i> the Web Dynpro applications running on the server (by changing WD a property in the J2EE Visual Admin, see this <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=367022">post</a> for example) but this is not what I want to do.
Regards,
Martin

Changing the llook and feel of components

hi,
i want to change the look and feel of my components. What are the available options that i can give. Anything other than alloy and metallic.
thx in advance

Hi,
you should also try this link:
http://www.javootoo.com/
Many Look & Feels available there. However not all of them are good to use in applications. In my opinion the metal look & feel provided with Java is very nice and it can be used everywhere.

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.
Cheers
