11.1 Configurable Theme Components

PlateSpin Transformation Manager allows you to create a custom look-and-feel for the Web Interface. You copy the default theme files to a new directory, customize the files as appropriate, and then point to the custom theme location in the Web Interface configuration file.

PlateSpin Transformation Manager provides two key configurable components for the Web Interface theme. The configurable components reside on the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance.

  • Theme folder: /vastorage/ptm/themes/<your_theme_directory>/

    • Color variables: A custom CSS file defines about 20 colors that, along with their derivative colors, affect about 80 percent of text, titles, underscores, buttons, shadings, and so on throughout the Web Interface. You can modify the color definitions to suit the color scheme for your business.

    • Images: You can replace any of the various images related to icons displayed for configuration, dashboard, resources, projects, users, and workloads.

  • Theme configuration file: /etc/opt/microfocus/ps_transform_mgr/config/transformationmanager-themes.cfg

    • Product Name: You can specify the full and short product name that displays in the Web Interface.

    • Theme: You can specify the default TransformationManager theme directory, or specify your custom theme directory.
