Creating Tab Images

Before you can assign a new background color to the active, inactive, and hover states of the tabs, you must create the necessary tab images in that color. To produce tabs in a different color combination:

  1. In PeopleSoft Application Designer, open the image definitions for the tabs that you want to change.

  2. Select File, Export Image and, in the Save Image dialog box, select the directory in which you want to place the images.

  3. Use any image editor to alter the image colors to the same as the new background color you choose.

    Note:

    Do not replace any of the transparent pixels with solid pixels. Additionally, you should leave the size and shape as they are even though the style sheets allows you to alter the size and shape of images.

  4. Select File, New, Image to add the new image definitions to the database.

  5. Save the new image files under the appropriate names.

  6. Customize the tabs.
