Windchill Rebranding / Customizing the Theme

[DeviVijayakumar]

I'm trying to understand if customizing the Windchill Theme is a common customization - See (Customizing the Theme (ptc.com) 

Do you do more than just rebranding?

- Do you customize other colors - like font color?

- Do you customize font size?

- Do you use custom icons for the standard icons (other than custom Type icons)?

- Any other similar customizations?

Can you share examples of what you've done?

Thanks,

Devi Vijayakumar

Windchill R&D

I try to leave Windchill as OOTB as possible to make upgrades easier. 

The one change I make to xtheme-windchill.css is the background color. Since I have multiple Windchill systems, at one time I had 3 running production data, I use the colors to quickly see which system I am working with. Usually the users don't see or use all systems, but as the admin, I do.

There are graphics designers with much better sense of style than me, so my wife tells me. I just alter the logo in the upper left and the banner text message to indicate that I am not on production.

My extent of "Theme Customization" is:

• Adding some custom css styles to property netmarkets.presentation.cssFiles
  • for use with custom jsp pages, wizards, and jquery
• Adding custom banner(s) using banner_custom.jspf and banner.txt
  • Display all the time on development servers
  • Occasionally on production server

Like @avillanueva I am style challenged so we leave the Windchill look ootb.

Hi @DeviVijayakumar 

I usually change a color schema that is based on a customer's company color schema

I change, the general color schema when I modify almost all colored icons that build the page look,

logo style, alert message style.

Yes there is some effort to do so, but it is fun :D.
