►Change the text above the user name prompt from “Log On to Sametime” to“Please, log on”.Since the logon screen is a form inside a Notes database (stcenter.nsf), we needthe <strong>Lotus</strong> Domino Designer client to accomplish this customization.The specific form is named STLogonForm. Even though is it is Domino basedform, we are able to perform the customizations within this form mostly based onpure HTML skills.The following steps were taken to customize the logon screen:► Substituting the <strong>Lotus</strong> Sametime logoOpening the stcenter.nsf database, we are able to find a view called AllPages. Within this view, there is a document titled Graphics. Inside thisdocument, on the gifs section, there is a file called sametimelogo.gif.Changing this file for another one with the same name, but with the <strong>Web</strong>Logon graphic, creates the desired effect.Important: This is the fastest way to change the logo. However, we can attacha new file within this the Graphics document and then reference this new fileon the STLogonForm under the HTML tag:.Change the sametimelogo.gif for the name of the new attached file and theresults will be the same.►►Changing the backgroundIn this form, the background color and image attributes are used. Thebackground image is found by a CSS reference to the file stbackground.gif,located in the directory sametime/images, under the domino/html directory.To remove the background image, we changed the file name within the CSStag to one that does not exist. The tag is located under the HTML HeadContent attibute of the STLogonForm.To change the background color, we changed the value of the CSS tagbackground-color: to #FFFFFF.Changing the static text was just a typing effort within the form. Finding theoriginal text and replacing it with the one we wanted gave us the desiredresult.376 <strong>Lotus</strong> <strong>Instant</strong> <strong>Messaging</strong>/<strong>Web</strong> <strong>Conferencing</strong> (Sametime): Building Sametime-Enabled Applications
