Configuring your own User Interface

The ExtraView user interface is composed of the following components:

  • The Navigation Bar. This may appear horizontally at the top of the screen or may appear vertically down the left-hand edge of the screen. This always contains the main navigation buttons and a drilldown box to search for issues.
  • The Menu Bar. This appears at the top of the screen within the main frame. If there is a horizontal navigation bar, then it appears beneath the navigation bar, else it appears at the top of the screen within the main frame.
  • Background and Text Colors. In conjunction with the Cascading Style Sheets, these allow for the setting of the main frame colors including the text.
  • Images. This is the range of images used as buttons within the main frame, as well as graphics used on the various screens.
  • Main Screen Image Sets. This section shows the settings used within the preset themes. Normally you can set one of these image sets to get close to your desired interface.
  • Sign On Screen. This explains how to add your own embellishments to the user sign on screen.
  • Cascading Style Sheets. This provides an explanation of the different style sheets used within ExtraView.
