Changing back ground color of a webdynpro application

[former_member1191927]

Hi all,

I am calling a webdynpro application on click of link on a JSP using the direct webdynpro URL (not the webdynpro iview) and am also passing the parameter to make it pick up the a specific portal theme which we have created in (System Admin->portal display->theme editor) on the portal.

Some thing simillar to the following :-

<a href="https://<server>/webdynpro/dispatcher/<>.com/<webdynpro project name>/<webdynpro app name>?sap-cssurl=https://<server name>http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/custom_theme">https://<server>/webdynpro/dispatcher/<>.com/<webdynpro project name>/<webdynpro app name>?sap-cssurl=https://<server name>http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/custom_theme</a>

Now the problem is, though it is picking the portal theme, the background of the page is still the default color. I want to change this.

I tried changing few options directly in portal theme, but did not work.

Can some one help me in this?

Thanks,

Hari

Hi Hari,

The problem lies in your portal theme.

Go to your portal theme editor

System Administration ->Portal Display -> Theme Editor -> Open the theme

In this go to Component Specific Styles - >Application - >Application background ->set the color as #FFFFFF for white.

Hi,

Dont know whether this would be helpful...

You can put Group and add the UI elemenst inside that group.

the property design of Group , would be changeable..Try chnaging that,.

if the layout is gris layout you can change the cell back ground design..

Hi Hari,

I'm guessing - can you confirm - that the portal you are referring to is the same version as your webdynpro server (possibly they are actually the same J2EE?)

I've had issues where the portal theme and web dynpro engine were different versions (EP 5 portal theme, NW04 Web Dynpro) and things that were supposed to work just haven't.

I'd guess that this isn't your problem... But you never know!

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Hari,

If this is specific to one of your webdynpro applications, then why dont you go ahead with changing the theme from webdynpro side?
