Question

How to edit the PTC banner?

I'm sure this is not the first time this is asked, but last time I searched I couldn't find relevant topics... maybe it's too obvious 

So, it would be nice to edit the top banner text "PTC Windchill" to include, for example, info that you're in production environment and also change the colour to something else than dark blue again to differentiate the environments. Having no skills when it comes to web pages I'd need a starting point, though I was able to find the file containing the text "PTC Windchill". How do you edit the colour?

There are some options mentioned here - WC Background Colors

You can also setup alert messages - http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc110_hc/index.jspx?id=WCCG_UICust_GenericUICust_SysBannerAlert&action=show

Great, editing png files sounds like a simple enough solution.

I did that already, but do you need to run something to make these appear in the Windchill UI? Restarting the services was not sufficient.

Clearing browser cache did the trick...

    Oooo.. nice.

    And in fact I managed to implement the email link -idea (thanks!) BUT the whole thing only works with Firefox, not IE 11.

    The "whole thing" meaning what Binesh suggested above

    http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/windchill_hc/wc110_hc/index.jspx?id=WCCG_UICust_GenericUICust_SysBannerAlert&action=show

    it is as if IE is looking for "banner_en.txt" in the same location as the "banner.txt" mentioned in the support article.

    I'm doing this on 10.2 M030
