The list of all global attributes available with the default installation of the sample portal and their description are:

GlobalThemes

Defines the global themes for the Desktop. Themes are mainly focused on channel decoration like background color, channel border color, border width, and font face. Custom themes give the end user the ability to change the look and feel of the Desktop beyond the preset themes.

Global themes can be added in the display profile and changed by users in their Desktops. See “Customizing the Global Themes” on page 259 for information on adding global themes.

UserTheme

Defines the theme that shows up in the user’s Desktop. The value must be one of the collection values defined in GlobalThemes. In dp-org.xml file, the value can be either theme1 or theme2. When users customize their Desktops, the value UserTheme will change.

docroot

Specifies the online help doc root relative to the installed portal/static location. See the Javadocs for more information on the getHelp() method in the ProviderContext API.

helpURL

Specifies a default help file that is used by all containers. If helpURL is specified in the container provider definition, then that one is used.

userDefinedChannels

Specifies the page to allow users to Create New Channel.
