Look and Feel Forms

is there any tool or file so please share !!!!!
back end version -10g

Hi,
you can change the look and feel of the form using visual attributes,Or else just check the property palette of the canvas or window.Best thing is to check with F1, Form help. There you get lot of information.
Thanks & Regards

  • Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

    hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
    i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
    # Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar  ]
    # Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
    As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
    You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
    # Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
    # Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
    *i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env
    *tried to open the laf.pll from the oracle froms and reports, choosed Program -> Compile PL/SQL -> All, but errors like PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.PREPARE must be declared ...
    *tried to compile it using f60gen module=laf.pll userid=Administrator/pass module_type=LIBRARY output_file=laf.plx batch=yes compile_all=SPECIAL but the f60gen is no where to be found
    *i tried to replace f60gen by envshell.cmd from the $APPL_TOP but i cant find any environment variable called $APPL_TOP, i even searched the whole hard disk for envshell.cmd and couldnt find anything
    Please help as this is the final step of implementation, waiting any response asap!

  • Oracle Forms Look and Feel project for Forms 6i

    Hello everybody,
    Recently I find a web site that introduce Oracle Forms Look and Feel project,
    Oracle Forms Look and Feel project
    http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/doc/Oracle_Forms_Look_and_Feel_project.htm
    Can I use the PL/SQL library (laf.pll) , Java Beans and PJCs grouped in a jar file (laf.jar) for Oracle Forms 6i?
    thx

    Hi Francois,
    I find one website mention the following,
    "PL/SQL tables reside in the private PL/SQL area of the Oracle Server database instance; they are not available as client-side structures at this time. As a result, you cannot declare and manipulate PL/SQL tables in your Oracle Developer/2000 environment."

  • Error While running Oracle Look and feel Template Form -  (LAF_TEMPLATE)

    Hello,
    I have spent a lot of time to indicate wherever I could that you don't have to ask questions about the LAF on this forum. You have two other different locations, a dedicated email and a dedicated forum.
    At the first sight, it seems that you have not used the laf_10123.jar in your archive tag.
    Thank you,

  • Creating an messagebox in forms with look and feel of Windows

    I wanted to create an message box in my form with look and feel of windows.For this i used the package ORA.FFI...but i am getting an error....and i am not bale to clear it...the code is as follows

    Can anybody please tell me where have i gone wrong....

    I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
    There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
    Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
    This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

  • Forms Look And Feel

    Hi
    Is there any way to get rid of Oracle Logo on Forms Look And Feel?
    Thanks
    Isha

    Here is another way to do this. At least i did this like described below.
    1) Make a copy of ifrun60.exe
    2) Run Borland Resource Workshop
    3) Prepare your own icon and save it to disk
    4) Open ifrun60.exe in Resource Workshop
    5) Substitue the icon to that you saved previously
    6) Save changed ifrun60.exe
    7) Run ifrun60.exe and enjoy your new icon

  • Problems installing the new 'Look And Feel' done by Francios Degrelle

    I have download the new verison of the new 'Look And Feel' from
    http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/sources/v133/LAF_133.zip
    1- I defined a new section in formsweb.cfg named summit in the middle tier (AS 10g Rel2):
    [Summit]

    2- then I put a copy of the file 'forms.css' in the middle tier in the folder :
    apache\apache\htdocs
    so as to be on the path and then modified PM$CSS_FILENAME in all forms to be 'forms.css' instead of 'c:\forms.css' and recompiled.
    3-I put a copy of the file 'laf.jar' in the folder : 'd\Ora_AS\forms\java' in the middle tier and added this path to the classpath environment variable.
    4- I restarted the middle tier and wrote this URL:
    http://test/forms/frmservlet/config=summit
    the customers form opened but with no background images,I added the following to the URL '&form=test_laf_color_scheme.fmx',the form opened with the default color scheme to 'purple',I changed it from a drop down list to orange and all buttons background color degraded to orange.
    My questions:
    1-where are the background images ?
    2- I cannot compile the 'laf.pll' file to 'laf.plx',when I compile I get this error:
    FRm-91507 -internal error
    P.S. I read this thread :
    FRM-91507 when compiling a library with Forms 6i
    and I didn't understand it,where do I change the Forms_Path? in the forms Home release 1 or Forms home release 2?!!!
    3-Is the 'forms.css' file properly located? if not? where do I put it?
    Sorry for the long scenario but I'm really confused?
    Thanks
    Mohammad

    Hello,
    I'm curently out of everything so I cannot answer this one. All I can tell is that images are read from the client machine or jar file. If you want read images from the application server, you need the http:// syntax.

  • PushButton with Windows XP Look and Feel

    Hi all,
    I am looking for a way to give my buttons in my Oracle Forms 10gR2 (with Sun JPI 1.5) a Windows XP look and feel. In my formsweb.cfg I can choose between a generic and an oracle look and feel. The generic look and feel claims to have the windows look and feel, but unfortunatly, this is a Windows 3.11 L&F. Because of the overall look and feel of the Oracle L&F we decided on using this L&F but we would like our buttons to look like other buttons in Windows XP. I think this can be done by building a specific java implementation class but I have no experience with this.
    Did anybody already build such an implementation class and willing to share it with me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Harold

    The only way to accomplish this is with a Java Bean or PJC. Refer to the Oracle Forms Demos for some examples of what can be done with Beans and PJCs. Also, refer to the following page:
    http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-450786.html
    Forms Demos on OTN:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html
    One other suggestion would be to use:
    LookAndFeel=oracle
    colorScheme=blaf
    This will not resemble XP, but does offer a more professional looking application over the standard colors. BLAF was originally created for Oracle Applications, but works in all versions of Forms 6i and newer. BLAF = Browser Look And Feel

  • Changing Look and feel of template pagelets

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to show different look and feel for different template pagelets.
    Something like:
    Related links - Grey Header
    Related Content - Blue Header
    Other pagelets - Red Header
    I was able to acheive this very easily for homepage pagelets by cloning PORTAL_HP_COMPONENT.
    But looks like PORTAL_HP_COMPONENT HTML is not used for template pagelets.
    Does anyone have any idea which HTML is used to build Template pagelets?
    Otherwise how to meet the above requirement?
    Many Thanks for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Ekta

    Each pagelet has a unique ID based on the CREF ID. Rather than change the HTML template, an alternate option is to add this information to your stylesheet. Look in PeopleTools > Utilities > PeopleTools Options for your stylesheet name. I recommend cloning this one, adding a new free form stylesheet with override information, and then updating the PeopleTools Options to use your new stylesheet.
    I don't believe template pagelets have a common HTML definition. Instead, the "wrapper" HTML depends on the use location. For example, Workcenter pagelets use a different HTML definition than Intelligent Context and Related Content pagelets.

  • 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.

  • WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_OPEN_DIALOG look and feel

    Hello all,
    We just implemented webutil on our 10g environment to facilitate with the upload + download of files via our forms.
    To my horror, users are complaining about the look and feel of the file manipulation dialogs. I fully recognise that this is a java based screen, but was wondering is it possible to configure the look and feel to a more Microsoft way! (euch!)
    Many Thanks,

    Hello,
    You are right to say that the LAF directly depends on the underlying Java runtime. JIintiator is JRE 1.3 based, so you have the look that comes with.
    Two possible solutions would be:
    1- replace the JInitiator by the Sun Java plug-in
    2- write a nice Javabean to replace the file selection dialog.

    first it is looking into the web root and it is going to static root.
    Thanks,

    simplest is revert all the changes you made to what it was when you only had portal.
    Lets say your webapp had context /webapp and your site was accessed as
    http://yourserver/webapp. Lets say the images were under
    http://yourserver/webapp/framework/skins/yourskin/images/abc.jpg and so on for js/css.
    Then you added an apache and configured it to point to your weblogic for all requests (code and static).
    Now copy all the static files from your weblogic (via your build process) /webapp/framework/* to the same directory structure under apaches docroot so that
    <APACHEDOCROOT>/webapp/framework/skins/yourskin/images/abc.jpg is a valid path. Add a rule in Apache which states that /webapp/framework/* is served from apache (or you can say all .jpg,.css,.js is served from apache) and this rule should take precedence over the rule which says /webapp/* goes to weblogic.
    I dont know the exact details on apache , but I presume your apache admin will know. verify by adding a new dummy image file only on apache and access it over the browser. If you get it , then it means your apache is configured correctly, if you get a 404 it means your apache is still forwarding to weblogic.
    This has the advantage that developers can work locally without any change because all the paths are the same with or without apache so the site will work the same way on a local desktop as it would with apache.

  • Windows 10 look and feel thoughts

    First off I want to start by saying I've run Windows 8/8.1 from the beginning on all my machines. With Windows 8 I didn't miss the start menu and quickly understood the advantages and the short cuts. Also working for a large software company
    I personally made sure that we created a Windows 8 app and a Windows 8 Phone app. Oh yea, early adopter of the Windows 8 phone too which I still absolutely love. I'm not saying everything was rosy. I still have Win App API complaints
    which I voiced on another thread years ago and still have the same complaint all thought I do understand why they do what they do. There are so many great features in Windows 8/8.1/10. Being able to log in once from any device and access the same information,
    desktop and One Drive. Now I can't live with out these features. Home, office, phone, surface. I love it.
    The second the Windows 10 preview launched it was loaded on my laptop and surface. Not even VM. Yes it crashes a lot. It's a tech preview. Of course it does.
    I demoed some bleeding edge code on a bleeding edge OS to a customer. By bleeding I mean cut your wrist bleeding. It's a tech preview I knew better. After that tragedy, I had to get ready for our yearly conference which I planed
    on using Windows 10 for but instead decided to reload my laptop with Windows 7.... I have barely touched Windows 7 in years. Why Windows 7. The start menu. I didn't realize that missed it and how much better it is to use till Windows 10. In Windows
    10, I love the new start menu. Incorporating the live tiles with the basic Win 7 start menu ready extend it functionally and make it far easier and efficient to use.
    This is where I realized the difference and it's really just purely visual, but that is a lot. It isn't just the start menu. I miss the look and feel of Windows 7. The features in Windows 7 don't even compare with the new versions of Windows but why is it
    that Windows 10 still feel like Windows 3.1. Hardware has only gotten better. Even the GPU onboard of the newer CPUs is better than a lot of video cards these days however Win forms, shadowing all of the visuals that made Windows 7, well for
    lack of a better word, pretty. They are all gone. Win 8 to 10 are all about WPF and that's ok, but even WPF looks and feels better on Windows 7. This is where the new OSs fail. I know that the difference in the way WPF and Win forms appear has been
    highlighted on more than a few threads. But I think it's beyond that. The whole presentation in Windows 10 is just lacking.
    Now, would I personally go back to Windows 7 on all machines because of the visual short comings of Windows 10. No, of course not. The new features are far to valuable. But I'll never demo anything with dialogs, forms and even WPF forms on
    anything other than Windows 7 again. A 6 year old feature lacking OS that just looks more refined than the current OSs.
    Just some thoughts. Some people might not agree with me.

    I'd try them over here.
