Visual Format Basic Colors

Does anyone know how to override the basic colors for Table Properties (Background Color) in Visual Format?

We are using TeamSite 5.5.2 on Windows. With Visual Format 2.6.

Our users are creating their own custom colors, to ensure their table background colors fit in with brand guidelines.

It would be great if I could provide our brand colors in the basic color palette.

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe this is possible. I looked at it on a previous project and according to the doco it doesn't appear to be configurable.

That whole Table Properties dialog is just a disaster waiting to happen IMO... it would be very difficult to try and enforce brand standards when you have options for table background images and fixed width tables, borders etc that will override stylesheets.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with this one.

Disable the color selector. I recommend that you go with a straight CSS approach. Create a set of CSS classes for assigning branded colors/fonts/etc and let them use the style selector. Anything else could lead to trouble.

In the interest of branded colors and mandating alt text for images, I once rewrote every single VFE callout from scratch and was stuck supporting a few thousand lines of dodgy javascript for two years until I quit the job. Don't be like me!

I haven't tried this but I would suggest you might want to try and play around with the <iw-home>/iw/ewebeditpro20/clientinstall/interwoven.css and have the clients reinstall the VF client.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks everyone,

I don't wish to make major customizations at the moment as we will soon be upgrading to 6.5,
with a new version of VisualFormat.

Therefore, I have decided to leave them with custom color options for the moment and then
we will probably switch to a more CSS controlled approach in future.
