Custom theme's masters partially available

I've created a custom theme with 14 masters, but only five of them are visible in the Masters drop down in the Tool bar. Any suggestions?

Are they all visible when you choose to Show Masters in the navigator? If so, Keynote probably thinks you have TWO different themes inside your file. It's sort of smart and dumb at the same time. It's smart in that it only shows you masters that are available for the currently used theme, and dumb because you can't tell it to see ALL masters as one theme. The reason that feature is in there is if you choose tons of themes for your different slides, that drop down menu would get HUGE, so it only shows you masters in the theme that the currently selected slide is using.
Confusing to say the least. No idea how you can reset it though as I've never had this happen to me when making a custom theme.
Are you by chance just using a .key file that you customized, or did you export it as a theme file (.kth) so it shows up in your theme selector window?

Horrible time making customs themes and masters

I'm having just the most difficult time working with Keynote (2.0.2) and custom themes. I've create a new master slides but all kinds of problems just keep creeping in. First the bullets that I created on the master would (sometimes) be hidden on the actual slides. Then I could just expand the body content on the actual slides and the bullets would come back. If I edit things a little more then would go away.
Sometimes when I make a new slide and see the words "Double-click to edit" I would double-click but I would never edit.
Now I have a problem where the indenting for a "Body Level Three" node is further left than a "Body Level Two" node. And I can't find out how to fix this for the life of me.
http://www.moss-pultz.com/random/keynote_master.png
I've tried to create new documents based on this theme and still, nothing works right.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this program to work. Any ideas what's going on?

In version 3 you can go to your menu bar, click on the view tab and go to "show master slides".
On the left side you will see the two different boxes. The masters are on the top and the regular slides are on the bottom. Click on the master slide you want to edit at the top. Once you select it you are now working on the master.
As for the third bullet, you have two choices. You can change the indentation on the master, or you cand simply highlight the bullet, pull up the inspector, go to the text tool or "T" on the inspector. After you do that select bullets. There you can change any bullet to any indentation level you desire.
I realized after typing this that you said you had version 2. Version 2 bullet alignments in the masters are a little harder to manage. You have to click on show rulers and adjust the tabs stops for the text boxes. This really takes a little tweaking when you do that. Version 3 makes life much easier as you can set the indent level and also the spacing with specific numbers under the bullet information in the text area of the inspector tool.
Seriously, if you want an easier time, they really improved text and bulleting in version 3. You will save a ton of time by upgrading. Version 3 also has a ton of other enhancements including multiple text boxes with bulleting.
Good luck.

Make custom theme available for the "Create new app" wizard

Hi all,
I have a general problem. Imagine you have created a theme for ApEx. The theme makes applications look as demanded by the design principles of a company. The company now wants everyone developing ApEx applications to use the developed theme.
But It seems to me that there is no easy way of doing this. When I create a new application, I can only see the standard themes defined in the repository. If I want a new application to use the developed theme, I have to exort the theme once, and import it for any application I create (after creating the application, of course :-( ). This is cumbersome. And maybe a point of discussion in many companies.
Is there a way to exchange a predefined theme in the repository through a custom theme? Or even better: Add a predefined theme to the repository? The important thing is to make the theme available for all applications in an instance without importing the theme again and again.
If there is no possibility to do this, this is an enhancement request. How about a possibility to import new themes globally for all applications (maybe from the INTERNAL workspace). Or how about putting a "Import Theme" Upload field on the "Select Theme" page in the application creation wizard?
Regards.
Stephan

Hello,
I'll put an enhancement request for that, there might even already be one. The way you are doing it right now is pretty much the easiest way.
One way I do it is I have a stub application that has just a couple blank pages and the proper themes and templates. Then all someone has to do is install the blank application and start working on that, it just takes a couple steps out of the theme switching issue.

Masters in a custom Theme split into two groups for no reason

Hi,
I created a custom theme.
The problem is that when I select it and click on Masters, I see my Master slides split into two groups.
This is annoying.
Any solutions?

same thing happening to me. in fact.. it seems like every slide i create...causes another instance of masters to be created. even though it's all the same theme.
Why?

Custom themes: How do I create & edit an auto-text box?

Hello
Continuing my exploration of custom themes
I have now found out how to make text boxes editable (control-command-option-T, that was carefully hidden!) and am now struggling with creating and editing 'auto text' boxes (not sure what their real name is in Keynote-speak)
1) Creating new text boxes:
Let's take a simple theme like White. One of the Masters is Title + Bullets Left. Now let's assume I want to create two text boxes with bulllets - the existing on the left and another on the right. In PowerPoint it's pretty simple: highly text box; copy; paste; move & resize as needed. Well Keynote won't let me Copy so that's out. If I create a fresh Text box, I can mimick the indent levels, bullets, font attributes, etc. (long and painful) but it still won't work because it is not a placeholder text box (fixed size) but a regular text box (size depends on content).
I'm sure I'm missing a trick!
2) Edit auto-text boxes
Again, take any theme, say White again; If I choose a Master with a set text placement, say Photo Vertical, there is very little I can do with it: I can change text attributes and box size, but I can't touch the number of indentation levels for example. Then again what defines a text box as been 'double click here to edit' from a regular placeholder?
Overall I think I'm missing a whole editing 'avenue' regarding masters - Anyone care to guide me?
Thanks!

You can set a text field to be multi-line and tick off the option to scroll
long text to have it automatically wrap, but you'll have a problem with the
first partial line, since form fields can only be rectangular. Another
problem might be the lines themselves, since you'll have to use a font size
that will fit them exactly, or it will look odd. I would suggest getting
rid of those lines altogether. They are not needed when filling in the form
electronically. It's a relic from printed out forms where people had to
hand-write their answers.

Bloated custom theme sizes due to uneeded .tiff's?

I have upgraded to K3 from K2 and have not had problems. However, I have noticed that new custom themes I have created were quite huge--10.4 M for 8 masters. Oddly enough, the skeleton presentation from which the theme was saved has is only 200 K (over 50 time smaller!). Unix allowed me to see the reason: the themes contain lots of big graphics files, such as stonemarbleAflat-Layer0Image.tiff. None of these are used in the theme. In fact the skeleton presentation was built from the system "white" theme and uses no additional graphics. None of the additional graphics files are present in the skeleton presentation either. Just to experiment, I copied one of these huge themes and deleted the extraneous graphics files by hand. This yielded a theme that worked, except that K3 complained about the missing graphics files. However, all of the masters seemed to work fine. My question is: what did I do to get such bloated themes, and is there a procedure for excising unnecessary theme bloat?
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Actually they ARE used in the theme - you just haven't used the parts of the theme that use them... The example you give is one of the texture files for the 3D charts.
When you save a presentation from the theme, it doesn't include any of those 'theme images' unless you tell it to - but this may then cause problems if you use the presentation on another computer.
Your answer is: you did nothing to make a bloated theme, and the bloat is only unnecessary if you are not going to use all the features available.
Ian
P.S. For future reference, you don't need Unix to see the files - select the theme in the Finder, Control-click and choose 'Show Package Contents'.

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into question marks. Why, and how can I copy themes with slides?

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination. When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.
How can I copy (or duplicate) my slides?

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

Creating Custom Theme for Power View Clustered columns chart

Helllo...
Is it possible to create custom theme for displaying clustered columns chart on Power View?
Basically I am looking to create chart with specific colors for the bars? For e.g. for High - RED, Medium - Orange and Low - Yellow color. When I look at themes available in Excel 2013 I don't see this combination as such, so I was looking to create one
myself.
I tried to create a theme using video on youtube, but the theme which I created is not showing up in Power View mode in excel 2013.

Hi Sagar,
In Power View, it has several default theme colors for us to apply to our workbook. Also, we can change the Font, Text Size and Background of the chart. However, it is not support to design a custom theme color.
You can refer to the following steps to change the theme colors:
1. On the POWER VIEW tab, in the Themes group, click Themes.
2. Under Built-in, click the theme that you want to use.
Please refer to the following screenshot below:

Apply custom themes to WebDynpro application in Portal

Hi,
We have just upgraded the E-Recruitment to EHP4. We have two instances of ECC in which one acts as HR instance and the other one for E-Recruitmet. We have created custom themes for portal and need to apply the same for the WebDynpro ABAP applications for E-REcruitment. I have downloaded the theme and from portal and uploaded the same in MIME folder using SE80 transaction. I have also added the parameter sap-cssurl=/sap/public/themes/<my custom theme folder name>.
Also tried giving the url in application parameter as
SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=http://<hostname>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/customer/<custom theme>
Is there any other way to apply themes for WD ABAP applications. I dont want to customize the standard applications and just want to apply the themes.
Any suggession on this is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Vivek.

you can try these links for adding Themes to a Web Dynpro Application ... You can create your own theme with your company logo ... Optionally there are a few sample themes available ..

Custom theme bloat

I've been working on creating some custom themes for my church to use - very simple, single background image. When I "save as theme", I end up with a relatively huge file - over 20MB. There are only 6 masters, each with the same 1MB image.
When I viewed the package contents, I found that most of the bloat was due to unused images embedded by Keynote - stonemarble_barB_flathi-Layer0Image-1.tiff, etc. Looking at the index.apxl file, it looks like these are used for creating textures on charts.
I've tried removing the files and recompressing, but then get the annoying Missing File alert. Given that I'm handing these themes off to be used by less technically-savvy endusers, I'd really like to eliminate this error message. Is there an easy way to prune the index.apxl file?

once you've unzipped the xml file, you can throw away the zipped version, then use a tool like Text Wrangler (or textedit if you have to) and do a find/replace for all those images. My suggestion is to make a small jpg or png that's a solid color and is a very small file, and use find/replace to replace all the other images with this single, small image. THen toss all the old files, and place that image inside the .key package (do this from your .key before making the theme). Double check that you get no errors and then export as a theme. DOing it this way will make sure your final theme has a zipped xml file and other tweaks that you might mess up if you edit the xml after making the theme.
hope this helps!

Nokia E72 custom theme problem

i don't like the original theme of the phone so i shearced for a black theme on ovi store and i did find a black theme and installed successfully and i made sure it's 4 e72

SAP Portal custom themes not appearing in 'Personalize' link

Hi.
I am trying to make customised themes available to my users through the 'Personalize' link in the masthead. I have successfully customised the Personalize function so it now includes only the ability to choose themes - all other forms of personalisation have been stripped out. I have also successfully created a customised theme.
My problem is that the custom theme I have created does not appear in the values list within Personalize -> Portal Theme. Only SAP standard themes are appearing in the list. I have managed to assign the theme to users through a display rule, so I know the theme works OK. I have tried exporting and re-importing the theme, this did not help.
Does anybody know how I can make my custom theme available through the Personalize -> Portal Theme list?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Simon.

Hi,
Only the themes present in the desktop in which the users fall will be available in the personalize link.
In detail
System admin->portal display->Desktop and display rule ->open your desktop (in which the user falls)
Add all your custom theme to the desktop.
By now the custom theme will be present in personalize->custom theme.

Keynote Custom Theme Background

I have created my own custom theme in Keynote on my iMac, it works fine and has a white background, so previews fine.
However when I save it to Keynote on my iPad and view it, the white areas on the background go transparent and I just see the standard grey background, plus the colours have all changes.
Why does it do this?
Can I change the background on my iPad Keynote to white?
The image I imported as a background on my iMac Keynote has a white background already so why doesnt this show up on iPad keynote.
If anyone can offer any pointers, I'd be really grateful.
Ness

Others may correct me, but my understanding is that Keynote masters can only have one title text box, and one body text box. Any other text placed on the master will appear as that literal text, and not as a text container.

Keynote - Changing chart textures in a custom theme

I know there are a couple different textures for the charts in the regular themes. I have created a custom theme for my company and I would like to be able to change the texture on the charts. But I can't seem to figure out how to choose which texture is used.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Darin, this is covered in the Keynote User Guide (p.179 in the KN3 guide). To quote:
To set default chart attributes:
1 In the slide organizer, create a new slide based on the master slide you are designing.
2 Place a chart on the slide canvas.
3 Select the chart and set its attributes. (For more information, see Chapter 6, “Creating Charts.”)
4 To define defaults for another chart type, copy the chart and paste it on a new slide, change the chart type, and set the chart attributes. Repeat this step for each chart type.
5 When all the charts are formatted as you wish, select each of them, one at a time, and make the new properties the default by doing one of the following:
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for the current master, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for Current Master.
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for all the masters in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for All Masters.
- To make the chart’s type the default for all master slides in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Make [chart] the Default Chart Type.
6 In the dialog that appears, specify the total number of series for which you are defining attributes.
7 Delete the charts from the slides.

NW2004s: Assigning a custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal

The situation is as follows:
Some web-dynpros (for java) have a custom theme, a theme which is not the default theme of the portal or the default theme for web-dynpros in general.
In NW2004 this worked as follows:
When starting a web-dynpro in the portal it checked if it was started with the right theme. If not the exit plug of the WD interface view was called with an Url of the WD application plus a parameter for the right theme.
This is the famous parameter sap-cssurl.
For that parameter there are some values possible:
1) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
2) sap-cssurl=http://<host>:<port>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/mytheme
3) sap-cssurl=http://<portal>:<host>/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/mytheme
The first 2 are locations of the portal environment, the last one is a location of the WD runtime environment.
As I noticed this must be a full qualified absolute Url including host and port.
This works in NW2004 for web dynpro's running standalone AND in the portal.
Now for NW2004s:
The 3 variants of the parameter sap-cssurl work for web dynpro's running standalone.
But now for web dynpro's which are integrated in the portal:
The exit-plug with an Url is not possible anymore, this leads to the runtime error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!
Okay, as a first workaround I tried the portal navigation,
but somehow the supplied parameter sap-cssurl has no effect.
The code for that in the on-startup plug of the WD component:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
PCD_ID,
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
null,
null,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
null,
null,
"theme_set=X&" + theme,
 theme,
 false,
 true
I used there absolute portal navigation and the parameter (sap-cssurl=...) is part of the launcher parameter and the business parameter in the call to WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute.
But as I wrote above, this has no effect on the theme.
In the I-View the parameter "Supply portal theme" is set to NO, otherwise the parameter "sap-cssurl" is supplied twice (this can be seen in the poroperties of the web-page in Internet Explorer).
What I tried afterwards was setting the parameter sap-cssurl hardcoded in the "Application parameters" of the I-View. This doesn't work either.
My question is: Should this be anyway possible for a NW2004s portal?
Did anyone successfully implement this?
Kind regards,
 Erich Lind

Hi Erich,
I am facing the same problem. I am on 04 s and couldnot implement the custom theme to a web dynpro running in the portal. When I run the web dynpro app as stand alone, the custom theme applies fine. But when in portal, it takes the standard theme.
Was wondering if you figured this out.
Thanks
