Creating new themes

Use the New Theme wizard to create customized themes for your project.

Within this wizard, you will be able to perform the following tasks:

To create a theme:

  1. In the Project Explorer, right-click the name of your portal project.

  2. From the menu, select

    New | Theme. The New Theme wizard will appear.

  3. In the New Theme page, type a title for your theme. The title that you enter here must not have spaces between words. It will use the default language of the portal. After you complete the wizard, you can use the theme Properties view to provide titles for other languages.

    Note: The default language of the portal might not be the language that you see when you access the portal because the portal has three language selection methods. The default is used only when the other two methods cannot decide which language to use.

    Note: The default Unique name and Folder name are generated from the title for the default language. If the default language of your portal is the language using double byte character set (DBCS) characters, do one of the following:

    • Type the title using single byte character set (SBCS) only, and then use the Properties view to enter a DBCS title, or

    • Type the title using double byte character set (DBCS), and then type the unique name and folder name in the SBCS.

  4. Select a source theme; then click Next.

  5. In the Select Skins page, select a check mark next to the skins that you want to use in this new theme. Set one skin as the default; then click Finish.

In the Project Explorer, click

[portalproject] | Themes to see your new theme folder.
