User Interface Themes

This administrative function provides a means to set the overall theme of the screens displayed to users.  Select User Interface Themes from the Administration --> Initial Setup menu and you will see this screen:

Selecting a user interface theme

  • First, you may select the style of buttons to be used on the user interface.  You may select a set of buttons which predominantly use words, such as Edit, View and Delete.  This selection will color the buttons to be similar in tone to the next selection.  You may also choose to use icons as the buttons.  At this time, these may be shaded either grey or blue
  • Second, select the style and color of the navigation bar you wish your users to use
  • Click the Update button on the menubar of the screen
  • You will be prompted to sign off and sign on again to view the theme you selected.

The buttons on the menubars will always be displayed with words, as opposed to icons, and the options vary from screen to screen.

When in a workspace, an entirely different navigation bar is displayed.  This is colored to be in tone with the selection you make for the navigation bar.

It is possible to have a completely different theme for the site, for example using an existing company style that you have in other applications.  Instructions to create this are here.  You may also contact ExtraView support for assistance in configuring a different theme.
