To Create a new Skin

The <skin-dir> directory contains subdirectories, which correspond to each skin defined for Communications Express. For example, to create a skin called “christmas” create a “christmas” directory under the <skin-dir> directory and do the following:

Steps

1. Copy themes.properties under <skin-dir> directory to <skin-dir>/christmas. themes.properties file that defines the various parameters of the skin

2. Change the locations in themes.properties to point to the customized style sheets and images.

3. For help on various paramaters in this file, refer to Appendix D of the Communications Express Administration Guide. Look for “themes.properties” under the “Configuration Parameters Reference” section.

4. To configure the christmas theme go to <domain-dir> and set uwc-user-attr-sunUCTheme=christmas in the uwcdomainconfig.properties file.

5. Restart the web server to apply changes.
