Windows Intune - customise look and feel

Hi all,
I have a question regarding Windows Intune.
To provide some background, I have a customer evaluating Windows Intune and one of the questions were.
Windows Intune will be integrated with SCCM 2012 R2.
Can you lockdown the home screen, set wallpapers and other display settings to display the corporate colours and layout? this requirement is cross all devices IPhone, Ipad, Android and Windows Phone.
thanks in advance
cheers

There are only a couple of customisations you can make eg. company name, portal colour.

  • Emty topic window in Nimbus Look and Feel

    I have Java applications using OHJ. When we swith to Nimbus Look and Feel our topic Windows is blank. Helps work correctli in other look and feels. If I print topic it's is printed correctly, so information is there but it is not visible.

    No, I'd say it is a pity that you did not initially use layouts when creating the code in Netbeans. There is no point blaming the tool. Well, some of this code is almost 10 years old (and i didn't write it), and back then nobody used layouts correctly. Even now java layouts are a pain to use compared with other GUI layouts (FLEX, HTML). Our customer just wants a prettier GUI on top of this legacy java app.
    We looked at incrementally using JavaFX to slowly change out screens, but it doesn't support integration with a regular java application (why?)
    Even with a unsupported workaround i cannot open a modal dialogs from JavaFX. I think they are targeting JavaFX at the wrong market, it is usless as a RIA and will never beat out Flash. They should have targeted it as a Swing replacement. Just my 2 cents.
    >
    That seems a shoddy 'solution'. Even the current code under the current PLAF might fail on another screen size, resolution, default font size or a number of other factors..This is true, unfortunately the code base is very very large (300k lines).

  • Drawing window borders swing look and feel

    Does anyone know how to change the frame window border from being drawn in the windows look and feel? I want them to be drawn as a swing application. Can anyone help?

    Frames (and JFrames) are top-level containers that are not subject to rendering by the Look-and-Feel manager (they are actually "heavy-weight" native components). However, in 1.4 it is possible to use an undecorated frame (using Frame.setUndecorated(true)) which you could paint to look like a JInternalFrame. However, I think you lose the automatic handling of resizing, moving, iconifying, maximizing, closing, etc.

  • Customised look and feel for B2B/B2C web shop.

    Dear experts,
                I would like to find out if there is an admin page for SAP E-commerce to customise the look and feel of the webshop?
    Thanks.
    Wein

    Hi Wein,
    To change Look and Feel for Web shop is depends on scenario of eCommerce application i.e. B2B or B2C. B2B has different structure than B2C.
    Web Channel application comes in SAP standard with SAP look and Feel. You have to change look and feel as per client requirement.
    To change look and feel of Both B2B/B2C scenario you have to deal with files like CSS, JSP, Properties, XLF and some time you have to add your custom JAVA, JSP, CSS, Properties files etc...
    To change standard SAP logo youhave to make change in CSS files. Also you have to consider Browser type while changing look and feel because to display your B2B/B2C application correctly in different browser you have to make changes in different CSS.
    You will get better idea with example how to change look and feel in "Dev & Ext. Guide" for Web Shop. You will get this from Service Market place.

  • Windows look and feel instead, in InternalFrameDemo.java

    Hi all, I am learning swing and I am trying to modify the
    InternalFrameDemo.java source from
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#InternalFrameDemo
    My idea is to add the line
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); in the constructor, but it doesn't work
    and I don't understand why.
    Could somebody please help me?
    Kindest regards,
    Lasse
    public InternalFrameDemo() {
    super("InternalFrameDemo");
    //Make the big window be indented 50 pixels from each edge
    //of the screen.
    int inset = 50;
    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    setBounds(inset, inset,
    screenSize.width - inset*2,
    screenSize.height - inset*2);
    //FDoesn't work
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    //Set up the GUI.
    desktop = new JDesktopPane(); //a specialized layered pane
    createFrame(); //create first "window"
    setContentPane(desktop);
    setJMenuBar(createMenuBar());
    //Make dragging a little faster but perhaps uglier.
    desktop.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);
    }

    Uh I think you're mistaken. Whenever in doubt or something doesn't work as expected, check the javadocs. The link to the javadocs can usually be found really easily by typing "java 6 classname". In this case:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html
    If you want to set the Windows look & feel as your thread title suggests, this was not the method you were looking for as the javadocs will tell you. That method controls if a frame is decorated or not (as the name suggests), which it is by default. Setting it to true will not change anything.
    So what then? You type into Google "java swing windows look and feel". Without quotes of course.

  • Look and Feel Issues from NWDS 7.0.9 on Windows 7

    Dear Experts,
    I have successfully installed a new NWDS 7.0.9 on my 18' inch laptop:
      Windows 7 (64Bit)
      JDK 1.4.18 (32Bit)
    The NWDS starts without any problems however, i am begining to experience some erratic behavior from the projects i have created.
    For instance, when i attempt to Edit the Application  Properties for a WDJ project, the neccessary fields (and tabs) are not displayed hence i am unable to edit properties like the 'ExpirationTime' or create new one for that matter.
    In some cases,i am unable to embed a View into a Window because the neccessary fields to aid my selection of the view i want to embed are not visible for interaction.
    The same challenge occurs with EAR project; i am unable to edit 'application-j2ee-engine.xml' fields because they are not visible.
    After some troubleshooting,i discovered that the screen resolution may be affecting the 'Look and Feel' of the NWDS itself,
    If i reduced the resolution from 1024*768 to a value much more lower, some of these controls are displayed but with the desktop completely messed up.
    Does anybody have a solution to my problem because this challenge is affecting my productivity?
    Could my issue be as a result of my laptop screen size (i am using an 18'inch laptop)?

    Hi Vishal,
    first go to the download section in SMP.
    Roughly follow this path (translated from german ;-):
    SAP Software Distribution Center -> Download -> Further Download-Infos -> SAP Support Package Stacks -> SP Stack Download
    From list select SP Stack SAP NetWeaver 2004s
    A new window will pop up:
    1. Select your stack
    2. Usage Selection: Application Server Java
    3. Next Step
    4. Under SAP Kernel xx bit select your DB and OS
    5. Next Step
    6. You get a list of all components of you selected items.
    Here you'll find NWDS with a filename like JIDE09P_1-10003480.SAR
    You know the rest, right?

  • 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

  • Windows XP Look and Feel

    Hi,
    When I use Windows XP style Look & Feel on Windows XP Title Bar and Scroll Bar disappears or the color is set to transparent.
    I set Look and Feel using:
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    Even I run SwingSet2 on Windows XP and set the Look & Feel to Windows XP Style the result is the same.
    Is there any recommendation about this?
    Thanks...

    I forgot to say that I am using Java SDK v1.4.2_4

    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.

  • 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.

  • Jdeveloper doesn't show inspect pop up while look and feel is windows

    Jdeveloper doesn't show inspect pop up while look and feel is windows

    Thanks for looking at the issue Frank. Here are the points:
    1. I debugging a java application using Jdeveloper 11g IDE
    2. I had modified the IDE look and feel to windows.
    3. The debugger stopped at a breakpoint and i tried to inspect the value of an expression.
    3.1. Select that expression using mouse.
    3.2. Right click on the expression
    3.3. click on the inspect option.
    4. I was expecting a pop-up window to appear. But it didn't come.
    5. Later i changed look and feel of IDE to Oracle/fusion(blue) which is the default.
    6. Repeated step 3.
    7. Got a pop up window and was able to inspect the value.
    Hope this info helps.
    -Sandeep.

  • 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]
    baseHTML=base.htm
    baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
    baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm

    jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0
    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.

  • Problem With ButtonUI in an Auxiliary Look and Feel

    This is my first post to one of these forums, so I hope everything works correctly.
    I have been trying to get an axiliary look and feel installed to do some minor tweaking to the default UI. In particular, I need it to work with Windows and/or Metal as the default UI. For the most part I let the installed default look and feel handle things with my code making some colors lighter, darker, etc. I also play with focus issues by adding FocusListeners to some components. I expect my code to work reasonably well no matter what the default look and feel is. It works well with Motif, Metal, and Windows, the only default look and feels I've tested with. What I'm going to post is a stripped down version of what I have been working on. This example makes gross changes to the JButton background and foreground colors in order to illustrate what I've encountered.
    I have three source code files. The first, Problem.java, creates a JFrame and adds five buttons to it. One button installs MyAuxLookAndFeel as an auxiliary look and feel using MyAuxButtonUI for the look and feel of JButtons. The next button removes that look and feel. The next button does nothing except print a line to System.out. The next button installs MyAuxLookAndFeel as an auxiliary look and feel using MyModButtonUI for the look and feel of JButtons. The last button removes that look and feel.
    The problem is, when I install the first auxiliary look and feel, buttons are no longer tabable. Also, they cannot be invoked by pressing the space button when they're in focus. When I remove the first auxiliary look and feel everything reverts to behaving normally. When I add the "Mod" version, button tabability is fine. The only difference is I've added the following code:
    if ( c.isFocusable() ) {
       c.setFocusable(true);
    }That strikes me as an odd piece of code to profoundly change the program behavior. Anyway, after adding and removing the "Mod" look and feel, the tababilty is forever fixed. That is, if I subsequently re-install the first look and feel, tababilty works just fine.
    The problem with using the space bar to select a focused button is more problematic. My class is not supposed to mess with the default look and feel which may or may not use the space bar to press the button with focus. When the commented code in MyModButtonUI is uncommented, things behave correctly. Even the statement
    button.getInputMap().remove( spaceKeyStroke );doesn't mess things up after the auxiliary look and feel is removed. So far I've tested this with JRE 1.4.2_06 under Windows 2000, JRE 1.4.2_10 under Windows XP, and JRE 1.5.0_06 under Windows XP and the behavior is the same.
    All of this leads me to two questions.
    1. Is my approach fundamentally flawed? I've extended TextUI and ScrollBarUI with no problems. This is the only problem I've encountered with ButtonUI. My real workaround for the space bar issue is better than the one I've supplied in the example, but it certainly is not guaranteed to work for any arbitrary default look and feel.
    2. Assuming I have no fundamental problems with my approach, it's possible I've found a real bug. I searched the bug database and couldn't find anything like this. Of course, this is the first time I've tried seasrching the database for a bug so my I'm doing it badly. Has this already been reported as a bug? Is there any reason I shouldn't report it?
    What follows is the source code for my example. It's in three files because the two ButtonUI classes must be public in order to work. Thanks for insight you can provide.

  • Notification center look and feel

    The new notification center look and feel seems quite unlike the rest of the iPhone.
    Most of the iPhone has a light colored, rounded, kind of comfortable look. But the new notification center has a much more dark, angular look. (To me, it looks more like an Android app than an iOS component.)
    Any chance it can be rebranded? Or failing that, any chance of a settings option to customise the background image, so I can at least change from the dark "linen" texture to a wallpaper of my choice? (e.g. it might look much nicer (to me!) if I could change it to use the default iPhone water drops background). The slide down button itself (the bit of the notification center graphics which appears on screen, even in full-screen mode, if you make the 'wrong' move) could be much more rounded, as well.

    iOs 5 in general looks and feels awkward to me.  It feels cheap and not at all as polished as Apple's products have been in the past.  The alarms have new colors for no apparent reason, the text messages have colors for no apparent reason, the notification center has a distracting texture, again, for no reason... Yet none of these colors or textures are configurable or removable.  What was the point exactly?
    This theme shift is quite discouraging in the grand scheme of things.  It doesn't bother me much, but I definitely prefered the way my phone looked when I bought it.
