Creating a New Color Theme

You can create new color themes for the PowerDesigner Portal. To do so, you will need to be comfortable editing image and css files.

1. Go to install_dir\Tomcat\webapps\cmr\theme and make a copy of one of the existing color theme directories to use as the basis of your new theme.
2. Rename the copied directory to the name that you want to see in the Color theme list on the Settings page.
3. Go to new_theme_dir\images\css-images\dgm to view all the component images that are used to construct the PowerDesigner Portal site.
4. Open each of the images in turn in your image editor, make appropriate, consistent changes to their color schemes, and then save them back into the folder.
5. Go to new_theme_dir\css and open cmr.css in your text editor to view the css code that controls the look of other elements of the PowerDesigner Portal site.
6. Make appropriate changes to the background-color and color statements and then save your changes.
7. Navigate to the PowerDesigner Portal site in your Web browser and click the Settings tab. Click Refresh to ensure that your changes are taken into account by the server.
8. Click Settings > Client settings > Theme and select your new color theme from the list.
9. [optional] Select an image to use as your site logo and enter a new logo title for your site.
10. Click Save to apply your changes.
