13.3 Customizing Icons on Your Teaming Site

13.3.1 Replacing Existing Icons

You can customize your Teaming site by replacing standard icons with icons of your own choosing.

  1. Change to the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                               webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config
    

    Windows:

    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                               webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes\config
    
  2. Open the ssf.properties file in a text editor.

  3. Search for icons in order to move to the section that defines the Teaming icons.

    Four types of icons are listed:

    icons.workspace=
    icons.folder=
    icons.profileList=
    icons.entry=
    

    These icons are stored in the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                               webapps/ssf/images/icons
    

    Windows:

    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                               webapps\ssf\images\icons
    
  4. Replace standard image files with your own image files with the same filenames.

    This replaces the standard Teaming icons with your own customized icons. The next time you access the Teaming site, your customized icons display instead of the standard Teaming icons.

13.3.2 Adding New Icons

You can add icons to your Teaming site for use in areas of the Teaming site that you are customizing on a significant scale.

  1. Change to the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                               webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config
    

    Windows:

    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                               webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes\config
    
  2. Open the ssf.properties file in a text editor.

  3. Search for icons in order to move to the section that defines the Teaming icons.

    Four types of Teaming icons are listed:

    icons.workspace=
    icons.folder=
    icons.profileList=
    icons.entry=
    

    These Teaming icons are stored in the following directory:

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                               webapps/ssf/images/icons
    

    Windows:

    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                               webapps\ssf\images\icons
    
  4. Make a backup copy of the ssf-ext.properties file, located in the same directory with the ssf.properties file.

  5. Open the ssf-ext.properties file in a text editor.

  6. Copy the Icons section from the ssf.properties file to the bottom of the ssf-ext.properties file.

  7. List additional image files for each icon type as needed.

  8. Add the new image files to the appropriate subdirectory under the icons directory where the existing Teaming icons are stored.

  9. Save and close the ssf-ext.properties file.

  10. Close the ssf.properties file without saving it.

  11. Stop and restart Teaming to make the new icons available on your Teaming site.
