Changing the User Interface Style
Style interacts with the UIFC that are described in Appendix A. Most of the widgets depend
on Style to set background images and colors, font size and weight, and other parts of the
visual elements.
Sausalito ships with one style file: trueBlue.xml. You can modify this file and save it as
your own style file. You must give it a new name and create a new directory for your own
style. The following example gives you high level instructions for creating a directory for
your new style sheet, copying and modifying the style file.
IMPORTANT! You must make a copy of trueBlue.xml.
1. Change directories to /usr/sausalito/ui/style.
2. Copy the style file, trueBlue.xml, to vendor_style.xml.
3. Add any graphics or other files needed for your style file.
The following is an example of modifying the trueBlue.xml file. In this example, the
following UI properties were changed, as shown in Figure 3—3 on page 3—11.
¥ trueBlue.xml was copied to test.xml; the word test is shown adjacent to Style
in Figure 3—3 on page 3—11.
¥ The color value for the aLinkColor value was changed to #0033CC.
¥ The title alignment was changes from left to right by modifying the tabAlign value.
¥ The font size was changed by modifying to .
Similarly, changes were made to the background and divider colors of the table cells, and to
the button font and colors, and to the alignment of the image.
