Customizing Base Theme Colors
Replacing the ZWC Logo
Using Command Line Interface to
Changing Theme Colors and Logo from Administration Console
You can change the logo and base colors of the Zimbra Web Client themes without having to customize individual ZCS themes. This can be done either from the CLI or from the administration console.
Changing the base colors for themes and adding a custom logo can be configured as a global setting or as a domain setting. When the global settings are changed, the changes apply to themes on all servers. When the domain settings are changed, the base color and logos for themes on the domain are changed.
If global settings and domain-level settings for theme base colors or logos are not the same, the domain values are displayed for the domain.
Important: If the logo and base colors are customized in multi-domain ZCS environments, you must set a virtual host as the base color and logo attributes are displayed based on the Host header sent by the browser. See “Virtual Hosts” on page 79.
Note: A number of Zimbra themes are included with ZCS. Some of these themes, such as lemongrass, Hot Rod, Waves and Yahoo, have been designed with graphics or color codes that are not changed, when you change the base color. You may want to disable those themes from user’s Theme preferences selection.
Customizing Base Theme Colors
The following base colors in ZWC themes can be changed:
•
The primary background color displayed in the client. This color is the background of the page. Variants of the color are used for buttons, background color of the Content and Navigation panes, tabs, and selection highlight. In the following image, the background color displays with the logo, the variant of the background color displays in the login area.
•
The secondary color is the color used for the toolbar, selection headers in the Navigation pane, and for a selected tab. In the following image, The selected tab, Mail, and the toolbar are displayed in the secondary color.
•
The selection color is the color displayed for a selected item such as a message, the clicked item from a right-click or other drop-down menu selection.
•
The foreground color is the text color displayed. The default text color is black. The text color usually does not need to be changed.
