Problem with colors and referenced objects in form

cchappell

If I create an object and make the main objects form pink. It looks fine if I view the the form directly.

But lets say I have and object and I add a few forms to so that you can tab to different areas and on the tab form is a reference to another object and under presentation I tell Aware IM to us that objects main form rather than picking attributes to be displayed. It doesn't keep the pink coloring like it would if I called the objects main form directly. The form is white instead of pink and the whole form highlights green when I arrow/hover over the form. I don't really want green anywhere in the app if possible.

This leads to a second questions is there a way to change the color of system controls. Meaning change the save, cancel, and previous buttons for example and info box so that the colors can match the forms?

If some of the colors cannot be changed in the Aware IM configuration interface then they can be changed at the .css level or changing the images for buttons and other controls.

The default directory where all Aware IM web resources are is AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/fw/def (style1) or def2 (style2). If you change files in this directory all applications will inherit the changes.

For each individual application Aware IM copies the default directory into the directory AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/painter_businessSpace...
So you need to make changes in this directory for an individual application. Mind you, these changes will be lost if you publish a new version of the business space. So either you have to restore the changes afterwards or make the changes after the final version has been published(recommended).

The .css file that affects the color of the alternating rows in the list control (the blue in your example) is in painter../def(2)/style/controls.css - look for the "even rows" and "odd rows" comments and change the background color.

All buttons are in painter.../def(2)/image/buttons directory. You can edit these images and provide your own versions.

Hope this helps.

I understand what your saying about the editing the images. But I'm still confused about the other.

When I go into visual perspective and click the the colors and fonts tab and the scroll to group "List Control" and description "Back Ground of even selected rows" or "Back ground color of odd selected rows" and change either to a different color shouldn't that make the software change the color that used when your mouse hovers over and item in the list?

Will that also change the "hover color" of Query result items?

No, if you change the color of odd/even rows it will not change the "hover" color. Unfortunately at the moment there is no user interface in the Configuration Tool to change this color. This is an oversight and we will fix it asap.

In the meantime you can change this color in the file resourcemap.js located in fw/def/jscript directory. Open this file and look for the LIST_ROW_HOVER_BGCOLOR. Change the value for this setting.
