Specify your logo and color themes

Software GmbH provides preconfigured themes that determine the logo in the header as well as the colors of the user interface elements. A standard Default Theme is available as well as a theme called High-Contrast that uses a limited color palette with contrasting colors that makes the user interface easier to use. These two standard themes are available per default with Alfabet 

You can change the logo as well as customize a small set of styles for user elements.

This is a beta release of the Color Themes functionality and customization is currently limited to only a few styles as described below.

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Color Themes.
  2. Click New > Create Theme to create a new theme. Alternatively, you can select an existing theme in the dataset and New > Create as Copy.
  3. Define a name for the theme and a caption to display to the user community in User Settings.
  4. In the Style Groups box, ensure that at least the Global Style Group is selected.
  5. Select Is Active to make the theme available in the user interface in User Settings.
  6. Click the new custom theme in the Themes explorer.
  7. Change the colors and upload logos in the data workbench.

    It is recommended that you specify at least styles in the style group Global. Enter Global in the filter for the Style Group column to view the stylings in the group and change the styles.

    In Alfabet 11.7.0, upload to the style attributes Full-size Logo and Condensed Logo is limited to png files with a size limit of 100 KB. In Alfabet 11.7.1, you can also upload an SVG file. Both logos are displayed in the upper left corner of the user interface whereby the condensed logo is displayed if the left navigation panel is collapsed. The same graphic can be used for both the full-size and condensed versions of the logo.

  8. Once the style attributes are changed, ensure that the Is Active attribute is set to Yes for the custom theme.
  9. To test the changed styles in the user interface, log out of Alfabet and log in again.
  10. Click your user icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Select User Settings and change the Current Theme field to the custom theme.
