Composed looks / Change the look themes are missing when creating site from saved template

Hi,
I found an issue when save you own site template and then want to create a new site from that template the "Change the Look" themes are missing and if you go to site settings, Comosed looks where the themes are stored is empty! Anyone else has
the same experience? Any workaround for this?
regards
Martin

I've just seen this exact problem on a SharePoint 2013 farm as well this morning, but have managed to fix the blank "Composed Looks" list issue, although am still working on the "Change the look" wizard pages.
Edit: found a fix for this too now. See my next post below.
It appears that the process of saving a site as a template and then creating a new site from that template causes the original XsltListViewWebPart used to display the default view of the "Composed Looks" list, to be replaced with a ListViewWebPart,
which appears to be broken.
Edit: have also seen this behaviour on sites created from the built-in templates but haven't determined exactly whether this is a bug. ULS logs never show any errors when this occurs so it appears to be "by-design". Ugh.
There may be a tidier way to fix this, but for now, I used SharePoint Designer 2013 to copy an XsltListViewWebPart from a working "Composed Looks" list, AllItems.aspx page and replaced the ListViewWebPart in the broken Composed Looks list, AllItems.aspx
page with it. There is also some additional post copy-paste tidy up to do on the pasted-in XsltListViewWebPart HTML to get it to work within the context of the site it is now in as it will contain GUIDs and URLs that are only relevant within the site
that you copied it from and these need to be replaced with the GUIDs/URLs from the replaced ListViewWebPart - paste it in a notepad session before deleting/overwriting it so you can grab those bits.
I'll write a more detailed step-by-step if anyone wants it, but this doesn't seem to fix the broken "Change the Look" wizard still, only the "Composed Looks" list default view. I'll look into that now and post back more complete solution if I can
find a fix.
Edit: Found a fix. see my next post below.
Edit Edit: One more thing - on some Composed Looks lists we are seeing empty lists once the default view webPart is fixed up. To correct this, you can copy selected Composed Looks from a working site with a full set.
Before you do that, edit the default view in both the source and destination Composed Looks lists and include the Title field as it is a required field.
Then, you can use Datasheet View (just click the edit list link to put it in Datasheet View mode) to bulk copy/paste Composed Looks between the source and destination lists.
Do a little post-paste tidy up on the URLs as above to make sure that they are correct for their new location and then click on over to your Change the Look wizard.
You should see all of your Composed Looks displayed nicely on the page.
Note that the Current Look might not represent the sites actual appearance as it's settings will reflect the source sites appearance, but you can tweak it with the Wizard now.

Glenn
Can you confirm your sharepoint patch level?

2007A PL8 UOMs are missing when creating a document via DI-API

If a document is created via DI-API the UOMs are missing.
The behavior till PL8 was that UOMs were taken from the item master when creating a new document.
Regards

This is a confirmed Bug. The DI-Api always uses the Inventory UoM. As work around you have to put the Sales UoM into the Inventory UoM.
I hope they we will fix this soon.

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 ??

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 (Composed Looks) Hangs

Everytime I try to change the look to a different Composed Look, the session hangs. It doesn't appear that the look is ever changed.
Are there any known issues with this?

What version of SP are you using specifically? Also, when you change the look there's some work that happens behind the scenes -- how long are you waiting?
Also, is the URL for the site set as a trusted site (assuming you are using IE)?

Change the look after creating own composed look.

I have recently been introduced to Sharepoint 2013, i have used the sharepoint palette download to change set colours in an .spcolor file. I have uploaded these and all worked fine however I now dont seem to be able to change the look it just hangs and when
clicking Try this out i get an error message.
I am using Oslo if that makes difference.
I even tried just altered the .spcolor file and replaced it in the Themes folder 15. When I go to change the look the current theme shows the updates in the small preview thumbnail however the page does not.
Does anyone know if this error is becasue ive uploaded my own .spcolor?

I shouldn' think so. I've not looked at the Palette creator tool for a few months but I'd assume that all it outputs is a file containing hex references matching your choices.
Does your deployment do this in site collection that doesn't have your custom palette?

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 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

How can I change the look of URL Icons?

I have created several web site URL shortcuts and put them in my Dock (actually I just drug the web site URL's to my Dock, Apple crated the ability for me to do so). I have a iMac desktop, with OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
My question is: Is there any way to change the look of the icons for the URLs that I have in my dock? (so far I have 5). They all look the same, an @ sign on top of a pedestal with a spring. I would like to at least change the face of the icon, the @ sign, to a picture of my choosing that would enable me to tell the difference of each one at a glance rather than having to slide my mouse pointer over each one to get the name of the web site to pop up.
Below is a picture of three of the icons on my dock. As you can see they all look the same, almost like the "Contacts" icon which is an @ sign on a book cover.
Best regards and still looking for clues and answers,
Peohguy

Your post helped me a lot. After all of the dust cleared and after sorting through all of the answers, the post(s) that solved my problem were from Kenichi Watanabe. However, I did have to go through all of Kenichi's posts to get the complete method that worked. Some of the other posts were difficult for me to comprehend and did not seem to work for me. I probably didn't do them like the writer's intended? Again thanks for taking the time to read my question and dig through your memory bank to come up with the thread that helped.
Best regards,
Peohguy

Is there a way to change the look of the new ical in Lion?

Wow, one interface change in iCal and you Mac world falls apart? I have not even noticed the change to it over the other great features included in Lion. Not a hiccup, increased stability and speed on all my Macs, Loving Mission Control, iCloud is a great selling point and Mountain Lion, due out later in the year will yet again change the face of Computing forever. Windows is following along the same path, struggling to keep up (yes I run Windows as well - trecherous isn't it!), but yet we are all doomed because a handful of people don't like the leather bound look of Address Book which will probably change again in ML if a hack isn't written in the meantime. Petty arguement here. Just give feedback to Apple, I am sure it is on the top of their agenda.

Custom Masterpage throws error in "Change the Look"

I created a custom master page based on the "Oslo" look in SP2013. The master page applies to sites just fine. However, when I try to use the "Change the Look" dialog in the site settings, the process hangs. I looked
at the script error console and found that it was looking for a missing div with the id "ms-designbuilder-cuicontainer." (The actual error
says "Unable to get property 'appendChild' of undefined or null reference in designgallery.js." I did a stack trace to find out what the null element was).
I don't see this div in any of the standard SharePoint master page html files, so I am wondering if there is a SharePoint snippet which generates
this div. I get the same error when I use the standard Oslo master page, but not with the Seattle master page. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to just make my custom master page work from the Seattle master page. The Oslo master page appears to be broken for other users as well.

Error when trying to change the look of a site collection

Hello everyone!
I have a single-server on-premise installation of SharePoint 2013 and I noticed that you can change the way fonts, colors etc. are used on a site collection by selecting "Change the look" from the site settings. However when I browse the page I
get an empty page with the spinner on the right just going in circles.
The browser log displays an error from _layouts/15/designgallery.js with this message:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character
The file is minified so unfortunately it does not tell me much more. However I also noticed a call to the webservice at /_layouts/15/designdata.ashx?hashcode=-1638098219&lcid=1033. Although this call returned a http 200 response the page turned out to
be the "Sorry, something went wrong"-page with a correlation id as well. Looking up the correlation id in the trace log I found this unexpected error
Application error when access /_layouts/15/designdata.ashx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Has anyone encountered this error before or knows what the issue might be? I suspect that this error prevents me from changing the look of the site collection.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the “Change the look” page displayed blank, and it still shown working on it.
This issue is always related to system requirenment. Did your environment fit for the hardware and software requirements for SharePoint ?
You can check with the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx
Did the issue occur in other site collection or web application?
You can refresh the page or reopen the page to check whether it loading.
Did you find any error or unexpected occurred in the ULS log or event log?
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Thanks & Regards,

Change the look of site element on sharepoint

I want to change the look of "more options" button, which looks ass thre bricks "..." as the picture below
link to the picture, More cleare
http://s29.postimg.org/f29je10h3/Namnl_sq.png
I have tried to find it in CSS and masterpage files but couldnt find it.
Where can i find it and change it to a word or an icon.
this is the url for the page http:///sites/SiteCollectionOne/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.asp

Hi Alba,
In SharePoint 2013, most part of the icon images are displayed from one image which is called spcommon.png and they are in different part of the image.
If you want to change the icon image, you can edit the site’s mater page and use code to change the icon image.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$(".ms-ellipsis-icon").attr('src', 'http://sp/SiteAssets/2.PNG');//change the image URL to your own image which needs to be uploaded to SharePoint
</script>
<style>
.ms-ellipsis-icon{
!important;
.ms-ellipsis-icon-title{
!important;
</style>
Best regards.
Thanks

of spcommon
