If ExtraView Corporation is hosting your installation, you do not have direct access to the file system of the server to configure, alter or use this feature without contacting ExtraView support.
Using images as your navigation bar buttons is enabled with the behavior setting NAV_BAR_DISPLAY set to a value of IMAGE.
Navigation and action buttons within ExtraView are created and stored as png files. They reside in two images directories, which are defined by the paths in the IMG_HOME and the IMG_NAV_BAR_HOME behavior settings. The IMG_NAV_BAR_HOME setting contains all the images required by the standard interface navigation bar. There is a sub-directory of this directory, named workspace, which contains a set of images with the same name, but used for the Workspace interface. The remaining images are stored in IMG_HOME. Any image can be replaced with an alternative or you may create a new directory and place a complete set of images within the new directory. You then define the path to the new directory in the IMG_HOME and / or the IMG_NAV_BAR_HOME behavior settings. Care should be taken not to provide images that are too large, and cause your browser to display them with unsatisfactory results. The following table shows the standard images that can be altered by the user, and their suggested size (width x height).
Note that the file named CompanyLogo.gif does not reside within the IMG_HOME or the IMG_NAV_BAR_HOME location, but sits directly under the directory named /images. This allows your company logo to sit in one place, but be accessible to any set of issues you select. Also note that there is an administrative function that allows you to upload the file CompanyLogo.gif, without needing access to the file system of the server.
If you want to create your own navigation bar image buttons, the original Adobe Photoshop files used to create the buttons for all themes are provided in the installed ExtraView directory, at extraview_installed_directory/web/en_US/images_nav_bar. Note that the navigation bar buttons for all workspace themes are stored in a single file named nav_bar_workspace.psd.
Navigation Bar Images in the IMG_NAV_BAR_HOME Directory
Note again that under this directory is a directory named workspace, which is where the navigation bar buttons for the workspace reside. Navigation bar buttons within the workspace are recommended to have a size of 60 pixels wide, by 40 pixels high.
