55.4 Customizing the WebAccess Interface

GroupWise WebAccess enables you to change the default Novell logo and colors used in the WebAccess interface. For example, you can add your company logo to the main WebAccess window and change the colors to match your company colors.

You use the customization.properties file to change the logo and colors.
