New themes in Apex 4

Hi,
Does anyone know if there will be new built-in themes in upcoming Apex 4?
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Andy,
We're working on modernizing the existing 20 themes in APEX 4.0, i.e. we'll make them XHTML compliant and give them a face-lift. This won't effect your existing applications, even after upgrading to APEX 4.0, because themes are installed into your applications. So when upgrading to APEX 4.0, you're application will look the same, until you go in an update to the newer version of that theme or switch to another theme. Whether or not we also include new themes is not yet decided.
Regards,
Marc

Export/Import the new Theme from Apex 2.2

Ok, I am so very sold the new theme 15 in Apex 2.2 after 1 day playing. I really want to use it in the new app I am going to build very soon. Export/Import does not work at all because all the images whatsoever are NOT there. May somebody let me know how to do this? or can we do it?
Thanks in adavnce.

Hello,
I'll see what I can do about providing a zip of the images directory for the new themes, it's not my call though. You can at the moment use Firefox and save the page (which also saves supporting files) and that will get you most of the images.
You would then have to go through the css and make sure to grab all the background images in that file. On or two page grabs of different page types should give you most the images.

New themes in APEX 4 not working with JQuery tabs

Hi,
JQuery tabs only showed on themes 13, 15, 18, 20.
When I swicth to other themes, its not displayed like tabs

Hi,
you can simplify the the usage of jQuery tabs in APEX 4.0. You don't have to create hard coded JavaScript code for each page where you want to use them. Just use the new "Sub Region" feature and a corresponding region template.
Here is what you have to do:
1) Create a new template of type "Region" (create one from scratch)
a) Name: jQuery Tabs
b) Template Class: Custom 1
c) Template:
<div id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES#>
#BODY##SUB_REGION_HEADERS##SUB_REGIONS#
</div>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/themes/base/jquery.ui.tabs.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/ui/minified/jquery.ui.tabs.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
apex.jQuery(function() {
apex.jQuery("##REGION_STATIC_ID#").tabs();
</script>d) Sub Regions - Header Template:
<ul>#ENTRIES#</ul>e) Sub Regions - Header Entry Template:
<li><a href="##REGION_STATIC_ID#-tab-#SUB_REGION_ID#">#SUB_REGION_TITLE#</a></li>f) Sub Regions - Template:
<div id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#-tab-#SUB_REGION_ID#">#SUB_REGION#</div>2) On the page where you want to have jQuery tabs, add a new "HTML" region which acts as the container for the "tabs". Set the region template to your new "jQuery tabs" template.
3) Create as many sub regions (that are the actual tabs). It's just important that you set the "Parent Region" to your container region you just created before. As region template I would pick "No Template" or any other template you want to have.
That's it. As you can see now from the region structure it's very obvious for any developer developer what regions are part of the jQuery tabs.

How to edit #TEMPLATE_CSS# of a theme in APEX 4.2?

Dear Experts,
How to edit #TEMPLATE_CSS# of a theme in APEX 4.2?

Dear Paul,
To be more specific, I have the following
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_22/css/theme_4_0.css" type="text/css" />in my page template.
As I know, #TEMPLATE_CSS# is substituted by content of the above file.No, it is not.
As described above, <tt>#TEMPLATE_CSS#</tt> is replaced by the contents of the template's File URLs and Inline CSS properties. This feature enables template-level customization of the CSS included in the page. Try it: change <tt>#TEMPLATE_CSS#</tt> in the template to:

#TEMPLATE_CSS#
Now add a style to the Inline CSS property:
body { background: black !important; }Run the page. View the page source in the browser and see what's happened to <tt>#TEMPLATE_CSS#</tt>...
The question is, can I (through APEX 4.2) update this content directly to do tasks like adding or updating classes of the CSS?
Not in the way you mean.
File URLs and Inline are empty (by default) and ready to be used to totally replace the content of #TEMPLATE_CSS#Yes, <tt>#TEMPLATE_CSS#</tt> is replaced by the contents of the File URLs and Inline template properties. This does not affect the inclusion of any other CSS information, whether using new CSS substitution strings, <tt><link rel="stylesheet" ...></tt> elements, or embedded <tt><style></tt> declarations.
Is the only solution to update/edit the CSS of a theme, to download the CSS then paste it in Inline field (under CSS section of the template)?No. If you want a custom theme the best way is:
1. Copy the theme CSS to an accessible location in the file system (the best way) or APEX repository (if you don't have file system access).
2. Create a new theme as a copy in APEX.
3. Change the <tt><link rel="stylesheet" ...></tt> theme references in the new theme page templates to point to the new CSS location.
4. Customize the CSS (tools like Coda that allow local and remote files to be modified are very helpful).

$f_CheckFirstColumn(this) is not working in theme 42 apex 5.

$f_CheckFirstColumn(this) is not working in theme 42 apex 5. it does not tick or untick the check boxes.

I have experienced the same behaviour, this workaround worked for me:
1) In the Page Header Section under Javascript "Function and Global Variable Declaration" I defined this function:
function checkall() {
$f_CheckAll('', true, $('input[name="fXX"]'))
fXX stands for your checkbox ID in die Select Statement, for example f01 or f30
2) In the column heading of the report column, I call this new function:
<input type="checkbox" onclick="checkall()" />
Hope this also helps you!

Not able to switch the theme in Apex

Hi,
I want to switch the theme in my apex application.
I had created a new theme from the apex repository but when i am trying to switch it is giving me error from some templates type.
Can anybody help me to fix this issue.
Thanks
Saurabh

This application contains a number of custom report templates. The Template Class property for each of these is set to a class that does not exist in the target theme 1. Simple Red (i.e. probably one of the "Custom 1-8" classes). As a result of this, APEX is unable to determine which of the templates in the target theme correspond to those in use in the current theme.
Given the apparent number of customised templates used in this app, your recommended course would be to copy the custom templates into the target theme before trying to switch, otherwise it appears you will end up—at least initially—with a seriously broken application.
1. Go to Shared Components > Templates.
2. Click Create >.
3. Click Report.
4. Select As a Copy of an Existing Template.
5. Copy From Application *300 Industry Flow Repository*.
6. Copy From Theme *101. Application Theme*; Copy To Theme *1. Simple Red*.
7. Select Yes in the Copy? column for each template reporting a Theme Compatibility error.
8. Click Copy Report Templates.
Repeat for any other template types where custom templates are reporting a Theme Compatibility error.
Now when switching themes, the Theme Compatibility Report should report warnings rather than errors, and present a list of custom templates that match the template class.
Note that if these custom templates also require custom CSS, then any theme 1. Simple Red page templates will have to be modified to reference the requisite style sheets.

Importing theme with same number = new theme?

I'm adding application enhancements to production from our test database instance. So I exported the theme (#301) from the test db, then imported it to the production db. I was surprised that the Install Theme screen showed:
Export File Version:      2007.01.08
Exported From Application ID:      148
Exported Theme ID:      301
Exported Theme Name:      Harris - Blue Gray
Install Into Application      148
Action:      New theme will be created in application 148.
I was surprised the Action line says it'll create a new theme, when the documentation says it will update the existing theme. I even looked in the export file and it has a line to delete the old theme. When the installation finishes, I see that Theme 301 is the current theme, plus there's now Theme 302, which never existed before.
So I was wondering... Are my theme changes from the test instance in Theme 301? And it backed up the old theme to #302 first? Or have my changes not been applied?
I compared them and it looks like Apex is not replacing my previous theme with the new one. I have to manually switch themes. [sigh]
I'm running Apex V3.0.1. I did this twice to make sure I wasn't messing up.
Thanks,
Stew

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

Howto create a new theme?

Does anyone know how to make a new theme? I know you can adjust an existing one, but how can you make something like the revolutions theme where you design your own animation for the menu?

no simple task, as a start, read these multi-part articles.. :
http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=31388 (four parts)
http://digitalproducer.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=29612 (three parts)
esp. those '3D effects' as in Revolution need elaborated tools as Motion (part of FinalCutPro suite)
you can 'emulate' motion menus by adding 'movies' as background pics to an existing menu ..

Hello,
Versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are actually patched version of APEX 3.1. As such, they don’t introduce new features, but mainly fix bugs from the main release. If you want to learn specific details about these versions, you should read the readme file attached to the patch set files (on metalink).
It’s always best to work with the latest patched version, as it reduces your chances to encounter bugs. In general, so far the new APEX versions added many new features and technologies, while maintaining backward compatibility, so existing applications functionality is not impaired. Personally, I don’t see any reason not to upgrade and use the latest version, certainly when you are comparing 3.1 to 3.1.2.

Arie.

How do I install new themes for keynote purchased throught the app store?

I have downloaded some Keynote themes fron a site but I have no way (that I can see) to install them. I've done extensive googling and I always find instructions that say that I have to add the downloaded themes (.kth files) into the ~/Library/Application Support/Keynote/Themes folder. However, I have no such directory.
I purchased Keynote via the App Store. Could this be the reason why I don't have this directory on my hard disk? How does one install new themes then?
Thank you.
While I am at it and since there must be a lot of Keynote experts around, I'll ask another question about a problem that is driving me crazy. I'm one of those thousands of new converts and I have a lot of old PowerPoint files that took me a lot of time to create. I'm trying to import them into Keynote but some of them are giving me trouble. The problem comes when I try to change the theme (I just want to change the background). When I have complex slides involving many objects, if I change the theme all these objects abandon their original positions and everything becomes garbled. I think this has to do with the aspect ratio of the slides but I haven't found any way of fixing it. No matter what size I choose in the Theme Chooser, the result is the same.
I would really appreciate any help you people can offer with any of these problems. Thanks in advance.
JM

OK, I'll answer myself since I found an answer to my first question. It was right here in the forums. I'll post a link to it in case someone reads this thread looking for an answer:

How to Fix: Color CC Only Syncing Old Saved Kuler Themes to Illustrator, Not Any New Themes I Make/Save?

When I open the Color Themes panel in Illustrator CC (2014.1.0 Release), and click the "refresh" button, it only pulls in the themes I had saved on the web back when it was "Kuler." No new themes that I make (that show up on the web under "My Themes") sync with Illustrator. How do I get the new themes to sync?
(I've already logged in & out, restarted the programs and the computer, to no avail.)
Help?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am running OSX (10.9.5), and I just installed the latest security update & restarted. Still, it doesn't seem to resolve my problem, unfortunately.
Within the Color Themes palette, it still has my old themes, but when I refresh, the new ones don't show up, and it doesn't mention any error.
Incidentally, when I open the "Illustrator"/Application menu and scroll to where it lists my Adobe ID email, in the fly-out menu it says it wasn't able to sync my settings because an "Unknown Error Occurred." However, nothing seems to be out of order when I click in to manage the sync settings.
Thanks,
Rachel

What should be the directory structure for new theme

I want to create a new theme for my BSP pages. Currently all my BSP are using /sap/public/bc/ur/Design2002/themes/sap_tradeshow/ur/ur_ie6.css for styling. I want to create a new theme named testTheme and want to call my bsp pages with sap-themeRoot=testTheme appended to the URL.
I am not sure under which directory should I create the new directory. Should I create a testTheme directory to Design2002 or ur or sap_tradeshow directory in the MIME repository structure?

Hi Amit,
Run the program BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS using SE38 and export the whole theme that you want to base your new theme on (located in /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/Design2002/themes) to a local folder.
Make your changes locally and then use the program once again to import the new theme folder into the MIME Repository (for example /SAP/ZBSP_THEME/myNewTheme).
You can find further details in the weblog - /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/04/12/bsphowto-css-hints--custom-design-for-your-bsp-applications

Error creating a new Theme

Hi
I get the following error when attempting to create a new Theme project "A project with the same location already exists". This is the second theme I am trying to create, in my folder \workspace\NW04SStack10Themes dir.
As an aside the reason I am creating a second project is because changes I make to the original one have not been applied the steps I took were:
1. to Generate for all browsers and subdesignparts
2. To save the Theme.
3. to copy to the directory <install>\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\webdynpro\web\sap.com\tcwddispwda\global\SSR\themes
I have tried these steps and stopping starting the server on many ocassions.
Help appreciated applying the updates to the theme by answering either of the questions above.
Thanks a lot ..

Hi Bo Tarno ,
Try saving the Theme with the changes in a different location and check whether it is working fine.
