Setting custom theme as default

Tim_Overbay

Hi,

I created a custom theme and set it as the default in the app.xml configuration, but users who log in are still seeing the Documentum theme. Can somebody enlighten me as to why this is happening?

<config>
<scope>
<application extends="dam/app.xml">
<themes>
<theme>
<name>dda</name>
<label>
<nlsid>MSG_BRAND_DDA</nlsid>
</label>
</theme>
<!-- Default theme to use when a WDK application starts up -->
<filter clientenv="webbrowser">
<default-theme>dda</default-theme>
</filter>
</themes>
... other configurations ...
</application>
</scope>
</config>

I guess it has been saved in the preferences (cookie) the 1st time the user launched Webtop.

Try removing the cookies on a machine and go to Webtop again to see .

Obviously, the bad news is that ALL user preferences will be gone

You don't have to remove cookies to reset the theme. Just have the users log back in to Webtop, go to "Preferences" and select your custom theme. Also, if this is D6, preferences are now stored in the Global Registry and could be programmatically changed there (I don't know the exact object names off the top of my head).

Hi Tim_overbay,

The xml config file is OK. The solution is to close your current session and open a new one.

-you must restart your server (Tomcat,...) after editing your xml config file
