LBI v 10.1.x cosmetic change

They kept the dashboard colors in allignment with Infor's blue scheme.

I was told that there is no way to change these colours but in fuure releases there is an enhancement recommended by users to make changes to the dashboard colours to distinguish between prod and test.

They took away our toys.

Its like Henry Ford said you can get it in any color as long as its black ... or in this case blue

depends on how badly you want to change it and how good you are with CSS.

First you need to edit two images, just do a color fill with any average image editing software of the color you want. the files are the same but in two different folders. The image is module_header_center_1x27.png and its in C:\LawsonBusinessIntelligence\FrameworkServices\Framework Services.ear\efswar-10.1.0.0.war\inforControls\images and C:\LawsonBusinessIntelligence\FrameworkServices\Framework Services.ear\efswar-10.1.0.0.war\fs\images\inforstyling.

After that there is some CSS code youll have to edit to change the borders, although, it may work with another blue since its just used to give shadow effect on the border. The css file, I believe but am not 100% (because I didnt go this far) is C:\LawsonBusinessIntelligence\FrameworkServices\Framework Services.ear\efswar-10.1.0.0.war/inforControls/inforControlsCombined-1.2.min.css. Look for border color set to #245d9.

The difficulty is with non-module and dashboard bar items such as buttons and what not. Those are all done with images too so youd have to edit them as well but this should get you started anyway.

Matthew: I tried what you've suggested. It didn't work. Nothing changed, or do I have to restart the WAS in order to make things happen?

To be clear: We only really want the currently selected dashboard wording color to be something other than black. The rest of the blue stuff is OK. (at least for now)

Can you post a screen shot?

Sure, not sure why I didn't think to do that already....

See in the right half of the attachment where Financial Services dashboard is selected how the wording is black on navy blue? Can we change the currently selected dashboard wording color to be something other than black?

If you select other dashboards then they too become black wording on blue.

hmmm, thats strange. what version of FS are you on? Im on 10.1.9.0.168 and a selected dashboard tab is black text on a faded blue, not navy blue. but at any rate, this is all going to be in your css files. For the version and setup I have, the change would need to be made in C:\LawsonBusinessIntelligence10\FrameworkServices\Framework Services.ear\efswar-10.1.0.0.war\inforControls\inforControlsCombined-1.2.min.css

Youll want to change the class .ui-tabs-selected a and change the property color to whatever you want.

My installvalidator says version 10.1.0.0.149

Thanks for the information, and I'll let you know how it goes!

Did you get this figured out? What did you happen to do if so??

I now have access to a 10.1.0.0.149 system and you just need to change %EFS ROOT%/inforControls/inforControlsCombined-1.2.min.css. Under the class .ui-tabs-selected A change the color tag to the desired color.
