Modifying Tab Images
Tab background and shape are constructed from three separate images, as shown in Figure 34. NREC's requirement is to modify the default images so that the corners are squared instead of rounded, as shown in Figure 35. This task is typically done by a graphic designer.
Tabs support two states: on and off. You must design graphics for both states. There are two sets of tab images to modify. One set of images is for the first-level navigation tabs across the top of a page. The other set of images is for the third-level navigation tabs that appear across the middle of a page. The on state of tabs is controlled by one set of images for employee applications and another set of images for customer and partner applications. Because NREC is modifying the Partner Portal application, the images to modify for the on state are the ones that begin with "dcctb..." See Table 10.
All of the tab images are located in
root_directory\PUBLIC\
language_code
\IMAGES.
Theroot_directory
is the installation directory of your application andlanguage_code
is the three letter code for the language of the installed software.NOTE: The _d suffix signifies that an image encodes directionality. If you plan to deploy an application in any of the right-to-left (RTL) languages, such as Hebrew, you will also need to create mirrored copies of these images and place them in the RTL language directories.
To modify default tabs
- Use a graphics software package to modify the images defined in Table 10.
For example, assume that a graphic designer for NREC modified the images that make up tabs, as shown in Figure 36.
