Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Developer Sample Guide

Customizing the Current Themes

Change the theme values in the display profile. You can modify the theme properties from the administration console, or by using the psadmin subcommand to load the XML fragment.

Changing in the administration console is easier, since you want to pin point some specific properties, and change the values.

To Change the Text

The font families and font sizes are combined and defined in the following theme attributes.

headerText
titleText
contentLayoutText

The value of these attributes is actually a class defined in the desktop PortalServer-base/web-src/desktop/css/style.css file. In the Desktop style.css file, there are predefined font family and font size as follows:

.sansSerif12Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12pt }
.sansSerif11Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt }
.sansSerif10Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt }
.sansSerif9Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 9pt }
.sansSerif8Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 8pt }
.sansSerif6Font { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 6pt }
.monospace12Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 12pt }
.monospace11Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 11pt }
.monospace10Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 10pt }
.monospace9Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 9pt }
.monospace8Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 8pt }
.monospace6Font { font-family: monospace; font-size: 6pt }
.serif12Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 12pt }
.serif11Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 11pt }
.serif10Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 10pt }
.serif9Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 9pt }
.serif8Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 8pt }
.serif6Font { font-family: serif; font-size: 6pt }
.verdana12Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt }
.verdana11Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11pt }
.verdana10Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt }
.verdana9Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt }
.verdana8Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 8pt }
.verdana6Font { font-family: verdana; font-size: 6pt }

To change the font for the header text, title text, and content and layout text, please use one of the predefined class name, or, add new class definition in the style.css file, and then use it.
