BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.6.04
Using customized style sheets
60 BMC Remedy Mid Tier Guide
You can add your own style sheet to override the rules defined in system style
sheets. A customized style sheet can change the appearance of the application in
the browser, including fonts, labels, colors (including background, text, and link
colors), menu styles, button styles, and trim lines. For example, if you want an
application to include your corporate standard for colors and fonts, use a
customized style sheet to reflect your corporate styles.
In the following example, the colors for trim link text and trim link hover text have
been changed from their default values in the ARSystem.css style sheet.
a.TrimLink {
text-decoration:underline;
color:navy;
}
a.TrimLink:hover {
color:#cccccc;
If you modify the installed ARSystem.css files in the installed locations, (see
Table 2-1), the changes are applied to all applications running on that mid tier.
To associate the customized style sheet with a specific application only, save the
style sheet to a directory accessible to the mid tier, for example, in the
midTierInstallDir\resources directory tree. Then use the following procedure
to associate the style sheet to the application.
TIP
If you name the customized style sheet with a unique name, such as mystyle.css,
you can save it in the default directory structure. This is helpful if you need to store
different versions of your custom style sheet to accommodate browser-specific
settings. If you want to use a customized style sheet named ARSystem.css but
apply the changes to a specific application only, then you must create a parallel
directory structure for the customized style sheet.
To apply a customized style sheet to a web application
1 Log in to BMC Remedy Developer Studio on the computer where the mid tier is
installed.
2 Expand All Objects > Applications, and then open the application you want to
work with.
3 Expand the Support Files panel for the application.
4 Select the resources directory level.
5 Click Create Directory and add the necessary directory levels to include the
directory where your resources file is installed, as shown in Figure 2-2.
By default, Developer Studio does not display the existing resources directory
structure. You must use Create Directory to select each level in the existing
directory structure.
