New Signature Design = Fast?

Should the new signature design delivered in patch 11 also cause a speed boost? I don't have hard benchmark numbers before and after, but the GUI just feels more responsive on my machine after apply the patch and switching themes.
It could just be my development system is having a good day, but I'm just impressed at how quick the GUI comes back with app server responses.
Take care,
Stephen

Hi all,
as one of our tests we perform for each patch / compilation of SAP GUI for Windows we measure the performance (focus is on CPU utilization, memory consumption and used GDI objects). For SAP Signature Design we have measured the performance a number of times and have compared this to Enjoy.
During the early stages of SAP Signature Design development we have seen a big difference between Enjoy and SAP Signature Design: SAP Signature Design consumed a lot more than Enjoy.
Through various cycles of improvement and optimization we have managed to reduce the difference between Enjoy and SAP Signature Design to the values mentioned in SAP note 26417:
"When SAP Signature Design is activated SAP GUI uses about 12MB
additional memory and the CPU utilization by SAP GUI increases to
between 140% and 175% of the utilization when using Enjoy."
The 12MB are caused by additional lilbraries which have to loaded when SAP Signature Design is active. This additional amount of memory is not used per session, but only once for all sessions.
Therefore this should not be a big issue unless you are using Terminal Servers (on a WTS this may be an issue since many users on the same hardware will need the additional 12MB).
The additional CPU utilization is required for the different drawing mechanisms (e.g. the shadows) and we currently see no way to further significantly improve this.
To answer your original question:
Even though SAP Signature Design is looking faster than Enjoy, it is not. I think the modern optical impression of the new design helps to make it look faster and on modern PCs we do not expect any significant performance issues. Therefore you probably have the "feeling" that it is faster (and this is great since the impression of the end user is very important, too).
I hope that helps to answer the question.
Best regards,

Replace SAP logo in status line in the new Signature Design (SAPgui 7.10)

Hello,
with SAPgui 7.10 there is a new desing available, the Signature Design. Recently a customer asked me, if it is possible to replace the small SAP logo in the middle of the status line (at the bottom of the SAP window) with another image.
I don't know this, has anyone an answer for me?

I doubt so (although I don´t know 100 %).
The bottom SAP image has the same functionality as before in the right upper corner (you can doubleclick it to send support messages to SolMan system). You couldn´t change the right upper corner image.

Making New Signature Design the default

Good afternoon - I have installed a SAPGui 7.10 Compilation 3 Installation Server and I have installed the SAPGui on a frontend machine. It seems that you have to manually choose the SAP Signature Design in TweakGui before this becomes the default on that machine. I would like to be able to make this the default theme after installation so that users don't have to manually choose it. It there an .ini file or a registry setting where this is recorded so that I could push out this setting or set it during the install/update of the SAPGui?
Your assistance is appreciated!
Regards,
Blair Towe

Should be stored in HKLM (or HKCU) \Software\SAP\General\Appearance\UseSMCRendering with a value of 1.
Try note 1233328. Look under the "How to centrally activate "SAP Signature Design" section. It talks about writing a Script Event to add the registry key to your install package.

SAP Signature Design & Task Bar Auto-Hide Feature

Hi Experts,
I'm having a problem with SAP Business One 8.8 PL18 using the new 8.8 SAP Signature Design. We are in a business with 4 professionals and 1 CRM. When we use the SAP Signature Design Skin Style and you have SBO maximized on the screen and you have Windows auto-hide the Task bar. You can't go back to the task bar with your mouse to switch applications or to just go to your start menu. The only way you can make the task bar appear is by pressing the "window key" to make the task bar display. To change applications, you can still use the "Alt Tab feature". If I put the Skin Style to Classic Mode, everything works great with no apparent display problems.
I've tried this on 3 different operating systems. Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server and the same results. The task bar won't re-pop up if you move your mouse down to it (I tried moving the task bar to the left, top or right to see if that made a difference, and it didn't). I've been using the "Window Key" for now to make the task bar pop up (display), but I think it's a bug with the skin style and not the operating system.
I've tried to get this resolved with our partner, but I don't think they understand the problem, or are just not willing to acknowledge the problem. They probably think it is a petty problem. We all like the new design and would like to use it properly while still having the task bar auto-hide.
The question actually is, do you know of this problem, is there something I can disable or do to get it to work (ie: make it run with compatibility mode to something) or do I just have to live with this problem?
I thank you very much in trying or helping me with this problem
Ron
IT Manager

Hi Ron,
Welcome you post on the forum.
I don't have the same version to test. Based on your detailed explanation, I do think it is probably a bug. Since it may not be used by many users, it could have low priority to be fixed even if it is confirmed to be a bug.
Thanks,
Gordon

Difference between Classic, Enjoy and Signature design

Hi guys,
We are about to install SAP GUI version 720 for accessing SAP GL on ECC6 (NW7.01) and are looking into the desktop requirememnts in terms of CPU, Memory etc.
The various SAP notes mention that there will be a different requirement depending on whetter you activate the Classic, the Enjoy or the Signature design.
Can anyone explain what the difference between these actually is? All we want to do is use the SAP GUI for journal entry/change, basic reporting and workflow tasks.
Many thanks

My apologies.
I cannot speak for SAP's reasons as I do not work for them, however, the difference here which we have encountered is just the choice for users to make it more aesthetically pleasing. There are no items/options/buttons which are missing due to the theme selection. (At least that we have heard or come across) It is more of a personal choice. I do not use the signature design personally but many users have adopted the new theme. We have about 20-30 thousand users of SAP gui and just have a document posted on how to change the theme if they do not like the SAP Signature one as it was the default when rolled out.
Multiple options just gives the users more choices to find something which they may like better than forcing the default on everyone. I would look at it more like Microsoft Windows themes. Gives options to users for going with the new Windows 7 theme, revert to the old Vista look or all the way back to XP, etc.

New Barclaycard Design Revealed

http://www.barclaycardring.com/t5/Barclaycard-Ring-Public-Blog/The-New-Card-Design-is-Revealed/ba-p/19532 The new Barclaycard Ring design has been revealed and will be arriving for existing cardholders in the mail by October. For new members, late July. I personally think it's a nice design and gives people more incentive to get it (for the shallow). 8% interest, no promos, no hassle, no rotating categories of any kind. What do you guys think of the new design? Will you be apping for it if you're not already a cardholder? Edit:
And here it is:We hope you like it! Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion and helped to shape the new design. And, yes, it is a chip card. (Interested in learning more about the Chip and Signature with PIN enabled technology? Click here for additional details.) So who will get the new plastic and when?Starting in October 2015 cardmembers who made at least one purchase in 2014 willautomatically receive the new plastic in the mail. Your credit card number and the security code on the back will not change. However, if your expiration date is within a 3 year window, your new card will have a new expiration date. So you will need to remember to update any recurring billers, online merchants or digital wallets with the new date. Your old card will still be valid until sometime in early 2016. Cardmembers who did not use the card to make a purchase in 2014 or became Barclaycard Ring cardmembers in 2015 will not be automatically re-issued the new card design. If you’d like the new card (with Chip technology), you can call the number on the back of your current Ring card and request the new card design. Otherwise you can wait until your current card expires and you will automatically receive the new card in the mail. We may also choose to automatically re-issue the cards in the future to cardmembers who still have the original orange card.

It sort of reminds me of the Rewards card. What I find interesting in the above paragraph, is the fact that cardholders who didn't make 2014 purchases and those who obtained the Ring this year won't automatically get the card even with the ongoing need to meet the chip card deadline. Does the old Ring card have a chip? Yeah but the following paragraph that I didn't include states you can just call and request one...agree it is odd still. I got approved for the card in March and it did not have a SIM so I will be calling up and requesting a new card.

The New Card Design for the Barclays Ring.

I’m here to announce that the new card design has been finalized and it will be ready for new cardmembers in late July and existing cardmembers beginning in October. Here’s a quick recap of the very fun and innovative process that we went through together to co-create the next Barclaycard Ring card.
In 2014 we asked cardmembers in an open forum to describe what they liked and didn’t like about the design of their current Barclaycard Ring card. We received hundreds of comments and passed them along to our design team.
This resulted in the following plastic designs
Option 1.pngOption 2.png Option 3.png
Incorporating your feedback, the designers created a three dimensional view of the card designs, which we posted in the forum for more feedback. This round resulted in four unique plastic designs that were presented for an official vote.
Voting results.jpg
The winner, with 42% of the voting Ring cardmembers, was card design #1. We also noticed cardmember feedback regarding concerns about the font choice for the most popular card design. We took this feedback to the design team and they presented four more options to the internal team. We picked one and now it was time to see how these designs looked in reality. About 10 weeks later we got a “proof”, or an example of what the card would actually look like. And I will tell you that it did not look good. Luckily, one of the designers went out to visit the card production vendor. They worked with the design and the production process to get as close as possible to the original design.
And here it is:

Otherwise, you can wait until your current card expires and you will automatically receive the new card in the mail. We may also choose to automatically re-issue the cards in the future to cardmembers who still have the original orange card.
I hope all of that helps. Of course if you have any questions just leave it in the comments below. Thanks again for participating in the design of the new Barclaycard Ring card!

I'm apart of that community and I was shocked to see that this is all they could come up with. In todays market with the different plastics available this to me is very quaint. Not appealing and to think they had a committee and designers and all that... it's truely disappointing!

SAP Signature Design and AFP

Hi everyone,
I read through the signature design by SAP and it appears they did a lot of work to bring this new harmonized and compelling UI into the Portal.
My question is: since they put so much effort into this exercise (mood boards, analysis, R&D), how much are we supposed to invest into its customization (I mean reworking the UI to suit customer's needs)?
What's the guideline and the advised approach to follow?
Thank you.
Regards,
Marco

Hi Marco (or Ben according to your login??),
About a year ago I spent a bit of time getting the SAP Signature to look pretty sexy for an external facing portal (i.e. Making it not look like it was SAP branded). Back then it was a little unstable, but by the go-live date; it was pretty trivial to make it look fantastic. For example, it would take about 2 hours to apply all the changes made when a new support pack was released with changes to the theme.
The trick is just understanding how all the content is used; what is available to modify within the theme editor, and what needs to be modified directly in the exported theme ZIP file. This obviously takes a little experience editing themes and learning AFP; but it's well worth it - as it looks and feels great - not to mention once it's cached - runs very smoothly.
Hope that is of some help,
Matt

Help fine-tuning new signatures

Could anyone please help. I recently installed a PIX 5520 with AIP-SSM-10. I can manage the sensor just fine and am using "configuring Cisco IPS using CLI 6.0" as a reference. I recently downloaded new signatures as sig1 on my sensor. when I enable the sensors and put them in non-blocking mode after an hour they are blocking half of my users to the INternet. How do I fine-tune the 50K new signatures? Are there any really good examples and references you might know about?

You should be able to quickly locate which signatures are causing problems by using either the ASDM or IPS Express Manager. If you dont have either of these programs go to Cisco's site and download them.
You can use the event viewer in either program and look for signatues which have actions of blocking or dropping packets from your internal users. You should then be able to tune only the signatures causing problems.
Also, when you download the new signatues, look at the txt document that is released with it. It should list any new signatures as well as any changes to old signatures.

I am trying to download the new CS6 Design Suite - not able to get past the previous version.

The list of cost centers in which the activity type is planned is given in KL02 under planning data. In order to add a new cost center to this, you need to enter the activity type in transaction KP26 for a particular year.
Goto transaction KP26
Give version - 0

Activity type - mention activity type
goto overview screen F5 and add the plan price for the activity in the cost center. This step will automatically add new row in the activity type control data.

Sign pdf document - no allowe new signature id

hi together,
i do have a workflow planned where several people should sign task cards on a pdf document (using acrobat reader version 9)
i would like to have the signatures for the people who will be allowed to sign the document to be created my own. the creation of new signatures should not be allowed.
when someone selects the signature id, there is the opportunity given to create new signatures.
is there any way that the creation of new signatures can be baned?
in advance thank you very much for your answer - Frank

thanks Simon ATS,
the only question is now how and where to disable the "create self sign id" function.
may be someone can give some additional help.
thanks in advance - Frank

SAPGUI - 'Signature Design', being in different systems, QA, Tst, Prod

With "Enjoy", I could set my Dev, QA, Tst & Prod to different colors so I can quickly tell what system I am in without looking in lower right corner.
I saw a note saying with Signature Design UI, you can't change the color scheme.
Is this still true ? Or having multiple systems up and running, has anybody found a "quick" way to id what system you are in without looking in lower right ?
With working in QA and Prod all day long, it was nice with Enjoy having each it's own color scheme knowning what I was in when. If Signature doesn't have this flexibility, I might have to go back to Enjoy.
Thanks for any input on this.
David

Yes, signature design does NOT support different colors per system.
