4 Customizing Colors, Fonts and Alignment

This chapter describes how to customize the look and feel of the Administrative and User Console. You do this by editing the .css file (style sheet) that controls the colors and fonts displayed.

Files to Modify

To customize colors, fonts, and alignments, you edit the xlWebApp\css\Xellerate.css file (or the locale-specific CSS file).

How to Customize the Appearance of Your Administrative and User Console

The Xellerate.css style sheet defines the color, font, point size, and alignment of the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console pages. Once you have determined how you want to edit the appearance of the Console, Oracle recommends that you do the following:

1. View the source for the page.

2. Determine the style sheet class associated with the element on the page that you want to change.

3. Lookup that class name within the Xellerate.css file.

The Xellerate.css file contains context labels. Use them to locate the class to edit when customizing a particular aspect of the Administrative and User Console appearance. In addition, the classes within this file are organized according to the region of the screen—for example, header, body, footer—and the HTML elements they affect—for example, links, tables, checkboxes.
