Theme

The theme gives an organization complete control regarding the general font type and size, and the color scheme of a Career Section.

Themes are the style sheets specifying the overall look and feel of a Taleo Career Section. The theme feature allows the system administrator to configure:

• Background and color

• Text

• Link

• Input and Button Control

• Custom Resource

Each Career Section is associated to a theme providing the Career Section a particular look and feel. The same theme can be applied to multiple career sections or a theme can be created for a single Career Section. By adjusting the colors and the fonts of the theme to match the element definition set in the branding file, the Taleo pages fit seamlessly within the Career Section.

The Theme also allows for the control of:

• the width of the progression bar

• the width of the help panel

The colors of the tabs and sub-tabs should be adjusted to comply to the web standards. Parent-child tab configuration is identified through matching colors.

Each element can be customized, however the available style values for each element differ. Available style values are:

• Font Size

• Font Family

• Color

• Font Weight

• Text Decoration

• Font Style

• Background color

The system administrator can choose a default theme for the organization. Two themes are supplied with the system. When a theme is created, the system automatically duplicates the Taleo Default theme. The user can then customize the aspect and feel of the new theme. Theme changes are applied to all the elements of a theme. For example, the font and color of a single button can not be changed; all buttons included in the theme that is, displayed in the application flow or in the career portal pages reflect the change.

The name of a style class being used for branding and for theme definition should be renamed to avoid any possible conflict. At implementation, style classes defined for a theme are first applied to a zone and then the ones used for Branding are applied. If the same type class name is used, but with different values, style classes in conflict do not render as expected. Taleo strongly recommends to have unique style class names. The same name of a style class for different elements of a theme can be reused, as this does not cause conflicts. An easy way to avoid style class conflicts is to add the company prefix to the name of the style classes being used for Branding.

Colors should be selected according to the organization best practices in terms of accessibility and branding. Colors should be provided or chosen in Hex value which can be found at http://www.webreference.com/html/tools/colorizer/
