Portal theme design


Overview

Themes define how the portal site will look. Portal v7 provides improved page builder and improved client side rendering and has a new default portal theme, the Page Builder theme. After installation, a default theme is deployed and you can either customize that theme or create own. The new themes approach introduced in 7 involves less editing of JSPs and allows you to mix iWidgets and portlets on the same portal page and take advantage of both client side and server side rendering mode. Portal continues to support other themes, including custom themes.

To view changes without restarting the server, enable automatic JSP reloading
