About ALI 6.5 Adaptive Styles (CSS Customization)
In AquaLogic Interaction 6.5, the available CSS UI customization
options have been expanded and restructured. These topics provide
information and detailed instructions on implementing UI customization
through CSS.
ALI 6.5 includes a new UI customization framework based on adaptive
page layouts. For details on adaptive page layouts, see About Adaptive Page Layouts (ALI 6.5) and the AquaLogic
Interaction Administrator Guide. If you are using adaptive page
layouts in your portal implementation, additional UI customization
options are available through the ALI CSS file.
The portal CSS template file follows standard CSS syntax rules.
For details on CSS, see http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/.
(The legacy layout is still supported in 6.5. For details on legacy
CSS customization, see Introduction: Using Adaptive Styles (CSS Customization).)
- Using Adaptive Styles to Customize Page LayoutAdaptive styles allow you to modify page layout and design using the portal CSS template file. You can also use CSS to hide specific functionality exposed in the portal page. This page provides basic syntax rules and customization examples.
- Using Adaptive Styles to Customize Portlet Style and LayoutAdaptive styles allow you to customize specific portlets using the unique ID assigned to each portlet, or use CSS classes to modify the design of a group of portlets. You can also set constraints for portlets, including limiting a specific portlet to a three-column layout or preventing users from collapsing portlets.
