LN user interface

This section describes the changes in LN UI 12.2.9.

Copy system message to clipboard

You can now select the text contents of the system message and copy them to the clipboard. This functionality can be used to translate the system message through a third-party translation tool.

Custom skin editor

Key users can be permitted to create a custom skin for the LN user interface. To enable this feature for a user, select the Allow Skin Customization check box in the user's User Data Template. If the feature is enabled, a new menu item, Custom Skin Editor, is displayed under Options in the main navigation menu.

In this editor, several color properties in the UI can be edited. These are some of the available properties:

  • The background color of forms and dialogs
  • The foreground and background colors of editable, read-only, and disabled fields
  • The foreground and background colors of editable, read-only, and disabled cells in the grid

There is only one custom skin. If you click Publish, the custom skin that is currently visible in the editor becomes the new custom skin. This new skin applies for all users who have selected the Custom skin in their LN UI profile.

Users can select this custom skin in the User Profile Details (uigwt0102s000) session: On the Preferences tab, they can change the selection of the Skin field to Custom.

Before you publish the new skin, it is only available for you, so you can try out what the skin looks like in the UI. To test the new skin, select the "Custom" skin in your user profile settings. As long as the new skin is not published, the new color settings are only applied for you.

In the skin editor, you can also download and upload a set of customizations as a .json file through the Actions menu.

For more information, see the online help of the Custom Skin Editor (uigwt0108m000) session.

Support 'help on the main session' for composite sessions

A composite session contains a main session and multiple subsessions. The Help menu option now opens the help page of the main session instead of the help page of the subsession, as it was before.
