Most of these colors are part of the global theme attributes. See Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Technical Reference for more information.
Use the following table to determine what you want to change and what file you need to change. This two column table lists the Desktop component to customize in the first column, the files to edit in the second column, and the corresponding theme attribute in the third column.
Edit the appropriate file.
In almost all case, make modifications to the bgcolor=value statement to change the color. In the case of the font color in the header and footer, change the color inside of the FONT tag for the specific link.
In the directory where you make the change, run the following command:
touch *.jsp |
(Or, if you know the parent JSP file, just run the touch command on that file.)
Reload the Desktop.
