Impact of Desktop Themes on Performance

Will allowing end-users to select an alternate theme have a measurable effect on the total amount of personalization information stored for the users in the SAP database tables? Has the SAP Portal team seen any other large customers with multiple portal themes enabled have performance issues related to the themes selection being allowed? We have 70k users today, doubling that by years end.
We are currently evaluating allowing our users to select one of three or four alternate desktop themes. We have experienced performance impacts concerning end-user personalization in the past.

Kumar's blog that you reference says it all really.
I don't know if anyone's going to be able to give you the kind of information you're looking for, because it's a no-brainer not to enable this level of logging :)
Is there are reason you're even considering it?
Imagine in the database running a low-level trace or debug log for every user session... you just wouldn't do it

Desktop Themes on Windows 7 Starter Edition

Can somebody tell me where i can select or change desktop themes for windows 7 starter edition. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right click on your Wallpaper and go to Personalize. It's pretty straightforward from there.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

Why does the Windows 7 desktop theme interfere with PDF's showing inside Firefox and how to fix it?

Windows 7
Firefox 28.0
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (my default PDF viewer)
I have the browser set to display PDF's: "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox." This works fine for a while, then it stops working. I get a white page instead with a pop-up window: "Adobe Acrobat" in the top left corner, a blue question mark in the message field and an OK button on the lower right corner. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Changing the desktop theme image to "Windows 7 Basic" magically cures the problem. After changing the desktop image back to the personalized image, the PDF's will continue showing for a brief period, then they will stop again until resetting the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" again. Can this problem be cured permanently?

The down arrow of the msctls_updown32 control can fail to display under certain conditions using certain Windows Desktop themes

I have a very odd issue with the msctls_updow32 control. Depending on the type of window or window heirarchy, when I click the up arrow with the autobuddy being an edit control, the down arrow disappears off the down button. I have to move the mouse back
over the down button to get it to display. At first I figured it was something in my OnCtlColor code. But I found that the updown control is never passed to OnCtlColor. I get the window class of each input and it never shows up. Nor does it's window handle
get passed in. Turning off OnCtlColor code and going default doesn't help. What I have found that helps is to turn off WIndows 7 Aero desktop and turn on Windows Classic desktop (Windows 7 Basic has the issue too). I also found that applying a skin to my app
avoids the issue. Using spy I finally found what appears to be a connection to EM_SETSEL. When that message is sent and processed, the arrow has disappeared. I finally gave up and created my own subclass of a CEdit control (MFC) and called SubclassDlgItem.
Then I implemented WindowProc and trapped the EM_SETSEL. Then I had to call UpdateWindow on the spin control and finally get the rectangle of the edit (buddy) and spin control and use that in a call to the parent (dialog) window's RedrawWindow.
So there appears to be an issue with the updown control paired with an edit control that shows up depending on what desktop theme I am using. And to top it off, the window heirarchy seems to matter too (or perhaps the styles of the parent make a difference
as I found the issue doesn't show up on every window that may contain such a configuration). Consider this a heads up regarding the issue! One other note, changing to any of the "High contrast" Windows 7 desktops also avoids the issue. So Aero and
Basic seem to be the key.
R.D. Holland

Fails on Win 8.1 too. As with Win 7, changing the desktop display to one of the high contrast ones avoids the problem. My work-around is below. I have a video showing the problem. It also shows the display being changed to high contrast and how the problem
goes away. If only I could figure out how to use this web page to upload the zip file containing the video ...
LRESULT Myedit::WindowProc( UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
LRESULT lr = CEdit::WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
if( message == EM_SETSEL )
CDialog* pParent = (CDialog*) GetParent();
if( pParent )
CSpinButtonCtrl* pSpin = (CSpinButtonCtrl*)pParent->GetDlgItem(IDC_SMALL_PARTS_SPIN);
if (pSpin)
CRect rectSpin;
pSpin->GetWindowRect( &rectSpin );
CRect rectEdit;
GetWindowRect( &rectEdit );
CRect both;
both.UnionRect( &rectSpin, &rectEdit );
pParent->ScreenToClient( &both );
//pParent->InvalidateRect( &both );
//pParent->Invalidate();
//pSpin->Invalidate();
pSpin->UpdateWindow();// skip this and the problem remains.
pParent->RedrawWindow(&both);// skip this and the problem remains.
return lr;

Is there a fix for layers not displaying in window when desktop theme changes from default?

Every time I change my desktop theme from windows default I can't see the layers in the Adobe window. Can anyone tell me where in options/preferences is the fix for this?

Hi Kelly, what happened is that I changed by Win7 desktop theme to a Holiday based theme and when working in Adobe Photoshop part of CS6 collection I start a new project and the layers work panel shows me there is a back ground layer there but in the Adobe work space window the layer doesn’t display. I tried change layer background colors but that didn’t work. If I change the Wind 7 desktop theme back to default it works as expected. Hope this helps. J

Desktop themes/icons

ok...people please bear with me as i am new to the mac world. i went to my local electronics store that is an apple distributor and i came across one of their mac mini's but the strange thing is that the desktop was different and the icons especially the dock toolbar icons. i was wondering of any cool desktop themes/icons i can apply to my mac mini and step by step on how to do it. i came across some desktop themes but do not know how to apply them to my desktop. any help is greatly appreciated...thanks

To change the picture in your desktop click on the apple menu and select system preferences - desktop & screensaver - click the desktop tab and choose the picture you want to display from the desktop pictures file. Alternatively you can display pictures from the other files displayed.
If you want to tinker with your dock go back to system preferences and select dock to set it the way you want. Then there's also the apearance you can change - again from system preferences.
Additionally you can change icons by selecting the folder/file and get info (apple&I or use the file menu) then just paste the new picture over the top of the icon you want to change)
Hope this helps
Pos I've just seen that link you've found! Wow just what I've been searching for! Fabtastic!

Desktop themes don't work in Windows 7

Just loaded Windows 7 under Bootcamp. Desktop themes don't work. The choices offered in the Control Panel just don't take when I click on them. I'm stuck with a plain black desktop. What gives? Graphics seem ok but maybe I'm missing something.

Can I remotely change the desktop theme?

When user opens my website, Can I remotely change the user's desktop image? Is it possible? Please Help me.
thannks in advance

Hi,
When user opens my website, Can I remotely change the
user's desktop image? Is it possible?Unsing JSPs it's not possible to change the user's desktop
theme.JSP are processed at server side and the output of JSPs
in most cases will be an HTML file which is used for rendering
your site content but won't provide any access to system resources.
But you may embed client side scripts like Java Script or VB Script
in JSPs to change the desktop theme if and only if these client
scripts provide access to change the client desktop theme which is
not in our scope.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Desktop theme disapears, black background

Desktop theme disapears all I get is a black background. I have tried to reinstall but it just goes back to black. Sounds do work.

Hello Mousemjr,
It's hard to say what is going on without some more information in regards to your issue.
1. What make and model system are you running?
2. What Operating System and what variant (e.g. 32 bit or 64 bit)
3. Theme disappears? Is the screen completely black or do you see desktop icons?
4. The reinstall was that a complete reinstall of the desktop operating system?
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

Switch Desktop / theme from Toplevel

Hello,
We are dealing with the following problem. In one Portal we are working with different kinds of projects.
- Project X
- Project Y
- Project Z
Each project has his own contentobjects like iViews, Pages and also his own desktop. A user can have roles from different projects within the Portal. So a user can have a role from Project X and Project Y.
So when a user logs in the Portal, the Portal first checks the display rules. Because if its top down structure the Portal checks and notice that the logged on user belongs to Project X. But this user also belongs to Project Y. But because of its top down structure the desktop of Project X is shown.
What we would like to achieve first is the following:
When the user is in the Portal, it must be possible when choosing an option from the Toplevel Navigation another desktop / theme will be activated.
Can anybody help us with the problem?
Greetings,
Gene

Hello Sourabh,
Thanks for you answer. This is no option unfortunately.
When the user clicks on a button from the toplevel navigation the Portal automatically must activates the right Desktop / theme of that specific project.
Greetings,
Gene

[solved] KDE Desktop themes - not applying fully

Changing the Desktop Theme in KDE has always just applied to Plasma panels for me. But looking around elsewhere it looks like it should be changing icons, window decorations, colours, basically everything. Any idea why it would not be working? There are no errors printed to stdout while it's changing.

Hmm, no they don't. Whole theming system such as it is gives you a lot of choices too, and lots of room for easy personalization. I'm not much of a fan of standard plasma theme, but I like icons and window decoration. So, if everything was so 'integrated', if I understood your point correctly, replacing just one part that I don't like would also require replacing all the others. And that would be unnecessary mess. Choices are good, that's why we like to have them.

Impact of Query Logging on Performance of Queries in OBIEE

I see from [An Oracle BI Blog post|http://obieeblog.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/obiee-performance-tuning-tip-%e2%80%93-turn-off-query-logging/] that Query Logging has a performance impact in OBIEE.
What is the experience with Query Logging at different levels in a Production environment with, say, 50 or 100 or 500 concurrent users ?
I am completely new to OBIEE, I know the Database. So, please bear with me.

Fiori custom theme - low performances

Hi,
since we activated our custom theme, fiori apps have very bad performances (often endless loading).
Any idea ?
Thanks !

Hi Alexandre,
Loading custom theme issue was fixed in the SAPUI5 library 1.22.7.
Please look at the note 2019136 - Corrections for SAP NetWeaver UI Add-On 1.0 SP09 and apply 1.22.8.
