NEW  Creating a custom color scheme

Users may choose a custom color scheme for the Web Access user interface. They do this by configuring their personal preferences and selecting a scheme as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide. The default color schemes are based on the colors shown in the PowerUser and the Windows default colors. You may create a custom color scheme for users to select, such as with your organization’s colors. Custom color schemes are defined in cascading style sheet (CSS) files on the Web Access server.

To create a custom color scheme:

1. On the Web Access web server, navigate to the folder where the color scheme files reside, C:\inetpub\AMM\Src by default.
2. Select the color scheme file that most closely matches the colors that you want to use in your custom color scheme:

• Power User 1.css
• Power User 2.css
• Windows.css

Do not select any other .css file.

3. Copy the file to a new name that you want to appear in the scheme list in Web Access, for example, Acme.css.
4. Open the new file in any text editor.

5. Locate the class definition for the object that you want to modify. This might require some trial and error or consulting with an expert in your organization who has CSS knowledge. For example, to change the color of the page header, locate the table.viewbar class.

6. Modify the class definition as necessary and save the file. For example, change the color, background-color, or font-size attributes.

7. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.

8. Open a Web Access session, select your new custom color scheme, and observe the results.
