Custom Skin Editor (uigwt0108m000)

Options > Custom Skin Editor

Use this editor to edit color properties for different elements in the user interface. You can publish the changed color properties to all users of your LN UI environment.

You can perform these actions:

  • Create a custom skin.

    In the editor, color fields are displayed for the elements of the user interface. You can change these color fields to custom colors. The effect of the changes is displayed in a preview panel. When you click Save, the new settings are saved in the "Custom" skin.

  • Test the custom skin.

    Before you publish the new skin, it is only available for you. To test the new skin, select the "Custom" skin in your user profile settings. Then sign out and sign in again. The new color settings are reflected throughout the interface. As long as the new skin is not published, the new color settings are only applied for you.

  • Publish the custom skin.

    To make the new skin available to all users of your LN UI environment, you must publish it. To do so, click Publish in this editor.

    To use the new skin, users must select the "Custom" skin in their user profile settings. Then they must sign out and sign in again.

Note: To use this editor, authorization is required. This authorization must be configured in the User Data Template (ttams1110m000) session.

Publish Makes the custom skin that is currently visible in the editor available for all users of the environment. The new custom skin overrides the existing custom skin.
