4 Classic Web Server Branding Scope The scope of this document is to provide information on branding a Classic TIBCO Nimbus Web Server site. Please note that this guide covers TIBCO Nimbus v9.0.0 onwards and does not apply to previous versions of the Web Server. Branding the Web Server This guide provides information on how to brand the TIBCO Nimbus web interface. The web interface uses LESS CSS variables to generate dynamic style sheets. This allows global variables to be modified in one file and reused throughout various style sheets that control the branding of the interface. For more information on Less CSS please visit www.lesscss.org. Modifying the Main Interface Color The main color of the interface is controlled by a single variable and this defines a number of interface styles, including the storyboard interface. Note: Modifying the @maincolor variable is supported by Nimbus. You can experiment with changing other variables; however these changes are not supported. It is also recommended to back up the style sheet before editing it. 1. Ensure the Web Server is running. 2. Open variables.less in Notepad. This file is found in: C:\TIBCO Nimbus\Web Server\App\ui\standard\assets\styles\all 3. Change the @maincolor variable to the desired color.
Branding the Web Server 5 4. Save and exit variables.less. 5. Restart the Web Server. Changing the Logo The main logo in the web interface can be changed to a different logo. Note: The displayed image size is 146px by 51px. The logo will be automatically resized to fit these dimensions; however, it is recommended that the logo is modified in a graphic editor first to maintain the aspect ratio. 1. Rename logo.png in the following directory. For example, rename it to oldlogo.png. C:\ TIBCO Nimbus\Web Server\Main\ui\standard\images 2. Copy the new logo to the same directory and rename it to logo.png. 3. Restart the Web Server. Modifying the Search Bar The color of the search bar that appears in the web interface can be modified by editing the following image: search-bg.png. 1. Open search-bg.png in a graphics editor. The file is found in: C:\ TIBCO Nimbus\Web Server\Main\ui\standard\images 2. Modify the color of the image and then save it. 3. Restart the Web Server. Restarting the Web Server Changes to style sheets and images will require a restart of the Web Server to update the changes. One method is to reset the Internet Information Services (IIS); however, resetting IIS will also reset any other web services that utilize IIS. Your Web Server installation includes Java scripts to restart, start and stop the Web Server. Restarting a Web Server can be undertaken while users are still logged on and any server requests submitted by users will be queued. Note: If you are on a TIBCO Nimbus Hosted Service, please contact TIBCO Nimbus Support you would like to modify any of your Web Server settings. 6 if To restart the Web Server 1. Double-click restart.js for the Web Server installation that you want to restart. This file is found in the following default directory: C:\TIBCO Nimbus\Web Server\Reload Note: You can also stop the Web Server without automatically restarting it by double-clicking stop.js. To start it again double-click start.js.
