Customising an existing theme?

Hi
If I wanted to change an existing theme in APEX - i.e. the centered blue theme (changing the background image, fonts, colours, images etc) how do I access this theme to make the changes to the CSS and images
Many Thanks

Thanks
But if I wanted to keep the structure of the theme (centered blue) and just adjust the CSS and change images - what is the process?
Do I need to export the theme (css, images etc) if so how do you do this?
Because when looking through the source the path is
/i/themes/theme_6/css/theme_4_0.css
But how do I access the files, as I cant see where /i/themes is located
Because when I have the files I can work on them in Dreamweaver - then how do you upload the theme back up into Apex?

so how to do this one .... I have downloaded the custom theme thru the pgm BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS .
So, Please suggest me how to check the things in my custom theme ..... is there any tool ??? or any other thing ???
everything is welcome from you all .....
Thanks alot for you all ...

Hi,
if you want to edit a theme, use either the portal integrated theme editor or the standalone editor (->eclipse).
I've got the standalone editor (check the download area at sdn) not run (SAP does not support that).
I've created a new theme concerning our CI in the follwing way: using the program mentioned right now (BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS). Loading the sample pages via firefox. Using firebug (a firefox extension) to
find the stylesheet classes. Changing the css/images via a stylesheet editor (-> Adobe Golive + Photoshop).
You can upload the files via webdav in GolIve (the webdav url is like: http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp_dev/.
Do not change existing theme! You this way:
1) Transaction SICF: Create a node in your namespace: ....../public/themes. Don't forget to assign a public login to that.
2) Transaction SICF: create an external alias to that node: /custom_theme (the '/' must be a part of the name!!!!!)
3) In your bsp pages: address the theme via: <htmlb:content design = "design2003" controlRendering = "SAP" themeRoot="/custome_theme">

Can you edit an existing theme in imovie?

I like the existing themes in imovie, but I would like to edit them to include my logo (ie. like the CNN iReport rather than a map of the world), how would I do that? If I cannot edit an existing them, how do I make my own? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

There is an active iMovie forum here, and on it I would expect you would get very good responses to your question.

Modifying existing theme

Hi ! I use N79. I just want to modify the theme to add a wallpaper so that it sit nicely in the middle of the screen. Where can I find the existing themes ? Thanks

Hi,
The location of your images directory depends on how you setup your APEX instance. Do you know which database version you're using? And whether you've configured your APEX instance to use the embedded gateway, which would be the default configuration on Oracle XE and 11g. Or did you setup APEX with mod_plsq or the APEX listener? Assuming you've installed XE, and you're using the embedded gateway, then your images are actually stored in the database (XML DB), and you would need to access your images folder via FTP or WebDAV. There are several blog posts out there that talk about how to connect to the images folder via FTP, here's one: http://www.apex-blog.com/oracle-apex/accessing-i-using-ftp-170.html If you're using any of the other configurations, your images directory would simply be a local folder on the machine running your web server.
As for creating a theme, there isn't really a "guide" out there that documents how to build a new theme. But the theme structure, templates, etc are documented in the APEX user guide. To start building a new theme, I would recommend starting out with an existing one that you like, ideally one that was recently modernized by us. I would recommend themes 21-23 as starting points. And then I would create a CSS file to overwrite some of the classes in the theme CSS file, rather than directly modifying the CSS file that ships with APEX. You should also use tools like Firebug, or the built-in developer functions in Chrome/Safari to try out different CSS settings. With our modernized themes you should be able to get most customizations done through CSS. So I would suggest staying away from actually altering the templates as much as possible, at least in the beginning.

How to edit existing theme drop zones ?

I have created an opening theme with 3 drop zones. Have saved the project file. All is ok at this point.
Now, later, I want to edit / change one of the items/content in the drop zones. How do I recall/ edit the content of the existing drop zones for this existing theme in my time line ?

Jeff,
Once the theme is rendered the only way to change it is to redo it. The whole thing.

Upgraded to Firefox 5.0. Cannot keep my refresh, stop & home buttons organised. Lost my plugin buttons (yes they ARE compatible with 5). View toolbars customise shows me them again, but the done they disappear again. Firefox 5 is buggy.

Why have my buttons gone. No refresh, reload, stop and No plugin buttons. cannot get them back- even with view toolbars customise and dragging them back to the left because when I am 'done' they magically disappear again. Fix this bug. Help me

Firstly, try following the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Toolbar%20keeps%20resetting
Hopefully, after doing that, the buttons should stay where you put them.
As far as the reload/stop buttons are concerned, they've been effectively merged into a single button. It is possible to split them though. When customising, drop a "Flexible Space" widget so that it is situated between both buttons (they always show as two separate buttons in the customisation mode).
It's also worth noting that, if you want plugin icons to appear on a status bar, you can re-instate this behaviour with the help of the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ Status-4-Evar] extension.

Customised Office 2010 Themes Duplicating

We have created a customized theme consisting of one font and multiple color themes. Templates have been created and the theme has been applied to each.
After distribution of the templates and themes the themes are duplicated in the drop down lists - Page Layout > Themes > Themes button, Page Layout > Themes > Colors button or Page Layout Themes > Font button. This is only happening
in Office 2010 and not on all machines. We have checked the spelling and spacing and the duplicated items are identical. If we uninstall the theme files the themes are still displayed in the drop down lists.
The themes have been distributed to the following folders:
main theme = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes
color theme = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Colors
font theme = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes\Theme Fonts
As a work around we have distributed the templates and not the themes - staff still have access to the colour themes. We would, however, like to distribute the themes so they are accessible for staff creating there own templates and a PowerPoint
template that uses a userform and VBA coding to change the master slides - we want to use the user themes folders as above rather than a network folder storing the themes (some users are on laptops and need to use the functionality when not connected
to the network).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi,
for Document Themes, (like this:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/powerpoint-help/all-about-themes-quick-styles-cell-styles-and-background-styles-HA010178624.aspx?CTT=3 )
Maybe you need to add the features in, or perform a repair on your Office installation?
Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Microsoft Office\Change\AddorRemoveFeatures\OfficeSharedFeatures\MicrosoftOfficeThemes
(I have a big bunch of themes files at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14)
(that's for Office2010, but it might be similar for Office2013?)
Do you have any themes listed in Powerpoint\Design\Themes ?
Do you have a "more" button on the Themes group on the ribbon ?
maybe also, the blog post might help a little, or you could comment there and the PPT team may be able to help?

Searching for existing color palettes in "Color Themes" Illustrator

Unable to seach existing themes in Color Themes panel Illustrator CC. Do I need to somehow save "All themes" from Adobe Color CC?

Hi Diana
Make sure that you are signed in to the CC profile thru the Illustrator preferences. Once you create the themes on the Adobe color site. You should see the themes load into the Theme palette.
Try resetting the preferences to see if that helps. Also try signing out and sign back in to the profile to trigger the themes to sync

Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

How can I create or customize an iPhoto book theme?

I am looking for a way to make a new book theme in iPhoto, so a group of photographers can create portfolios with a consistent style. I have had complete success doing this with Aperture, but not everyone has Aperture!
So far, for iPhoto, I have done the following:
1. Copied one of the existing themes in /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes;
2. Renamed all the files, and references to files to my new theme name;
3. Copied the necessary files in the /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared folder.
This works, in as much as I see the new theme in the choices in iPhoto. However, the pages are blank, and not editable. The only way to make them editable again is to change the "CFBundleIdentifier" back to an existing theme, eg "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover"
I have scoured the system, and I can not see any frameworks folders or files identified by iPhoto themes. Is "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover" a call to a compiled function in the program itself? In other words, is this something only Apple can alter, or does anyone have any new leads for me to follow?

This is not an exact match of what you point to as an example, but you might conisder it...

Play with the various adjustments and see if it is something you can use.

Theme compatibility between Theme 12 in APEX 3.2 & new 4.0 themes

We have successfully upgraded a development environment to 4.0.1. The application we upgraded uses theme 12 from APEX 3.2. Most of our users are still using IE 6 so we are limited in the new themes we can choose because they must also be compatible with IE 6.
Can anyone suggest which of the 5 IE 6 compatible themes in APEX 4.0 would be most closely matched to the old theme 12 from APEX 3.2? The fewest changes the better on this first go round.
Thanks,

You can upgrade your application to APEX 4.0 but continue to use the existing theme. The theme is packaged with your app: if the app used theme 12 from APEX 3.2 that theme should still be there and you should be able to continue using it.
Has the upgrade process actually switched your application to one of the new themes? Although I haven't upgraded an installation myself yet (decided to wait for 4.0.1 patch) I wouldn't expect this: my apps on apex.oracle.com retain the themes they had on 3.2.
If for whatever reason theme 12 from 3.2 is not available in your app, then do a theme export from a 3.2 installation and import it into your app (though it won't import as theme 12). It can also be added to the repository so you can easily continue to use it for new apps (though I think your time would be better spent upgrading from IE6).

Yes, You can have your own themes and you can change the colour of the existing Theme.
Connect to BAM->Architect->System->Views->Chart Themes.
