Web Dynpro Layout

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi all,

The layout of the Web Dynpro UI-elements looks static, close to the standard SAP interface.

If I need to enrich my web page in sense of other color scheme, fonts or letter size customizing etc. - how could I realize this in Web Dynpro?

Thanks and best regards,

Oleksandr

The only option to alter such elements is to change the theme. If you run in the NetWeaver Portal, then you can use the portal theme editor and the WDA iView will ensure that the WDA application takes on the portal theme. If your WDA runs standalone, then you must use the standalone theme editor which is unsupported by SAP. Try searching on SDN for Portal Theme or Web Dynpro Theme editing. There is much content on the subject.

One other aspect that you might consider is the new Signature Theme. This is delivered with NetWeaver 7.0 EnhP1. The ABAP theme name is sap_tradeshow_plus. This theme uses more visually appealing rounded corners and gradients.

The other option that you will have with NetWeaver 7.0 EnhP2 is to use the NetWeaver Business Client 3.0 to run your Web Dynpro ABAP applications. In this case the UI will be rendered with .Net 3.0 and WPF instead of HTML/JavaScript. The theme and colors used are still following the Signature design, but have a more desktop application feel (because it is now a desktop application):

In general, however, Web Dynpro is not designed to allow a free form design. Even the theme editor only allows changes to the overall color scheme and general aspects. It is not like full control CSS. Web Dynpro is for creating business transactions, not highly customized user interfaces.
