Customizing ALBPM WorkSpace Icons

ALBPM WorksSpace uses icons to help the user quickly identify important information and actions to perform. If standard icons do not convey the right meaning to your audience, you may need to replace them. The following procedures show you how to replace the default set of icons in ALBPM WorkSpace.

These procedures show you how to create a new image bundle using ALBPM Workspace's default image bundle as a template. To do this you need to edit:
  • The ALBPM WorkSpace configuration file workspace.properties in BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF.
  • The icons configuration file ImagesBundleSet1.properties in BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/classes.
  1. Create a copy of the file ImagesBundleSet1.properties.
    Note: Make sure you leave the copied file in the same directory where the original file is.
  2. Rename the copied file.
  3. Replace the standard icon for the new icon.
    1. Copy the new icon to the directory BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/enterprise/webapps/workspace/img/.
    2. Locate the key that corresponds to the icon you need to change. For a list of ALBPM WorkSpace icons, see ALBPM WorkSpace Icons Reference.
    3. Replace the value of this property for path of the new icon. The value of the property is the text to the left of the equals sign (=).
    Note: Avoid deleting properties while editing this file. Doing so can cause ALBPM WorkSpace to fail loading upon restart.
  4. Repeat the previous step for all the icons you need you customize.
  5. Edit workspace.properties file.
  6. Change the value of the property fuego.workspace.imageBundleFile to the name of the properties file.
  7. Restart ALBPM web applications.

The next time you access ALBPM WorkSpace the new set of icons is used.
