Experiences with Theme Designer in Portal 7.50 SP2?

[LutzR]

the question could also be:

• Has somebody already managed to build and apply a custom theme using 7.50?
• or: Is there some pitfall for old Theme Editor veterans using Theme Designer that I have trapped into?
• or: Is Theme Designer on Portal a Green Banana (at least on 7.50 SP2 PL0)? It looks like I cannot switch back to TE on 7.50, can I?

My Problem / What I did:

• There is a fresh installed 7.50 SP2. Nearly all Java components are PL0. So Theme Designer is active by default and I do not have to activate it. Fine
• Start Theme Designer from the portal Content Administrator navigation
• Copy Tradeshow to a new name and apply some (stupid but obvious) changes to the AFP Framework
• Save and build
• Doublecheck everything both with IE11 and Chrome without difference

Results:

Changes are reflected in the inplace preview. Fine:

But this is not reflected in the "run preview" at all. This looks original.

When I look into the sources of the preview the CSS URLs tell me that it loaded original Tradeshow Plus:

When including it into a portal desktop this does not result in any visible change.

What else:

• The Import of a 7.40 TE based theme only imported half the attributes (and of course were not reflected in "run preview" or when activated via portal desktop)
• Changes of colors resulted in spacing errors (of course only in the inplace preview)
• Images are missing (in the inplace previews)
• ...

This looks so broken that I cannot imagine I am the first one to experience this. I do not know where to start with opening incidents...

I am not able to find any notes relating to the main error at EP-PIN-TOL-UTD.

So back to my question:

• Has somebody already managed to build and apply a custom theme using 7.50 SP2? If yes, which SP/PL?

Thanks,

Lutz

Dear Lutz

1.) In the "run preview" (The UI Theme Designer preview)

1.) In portal url add for example irj/portal?theme=YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME_NAME

     Or if you did it in a classic framework page irj/portal/classic?        theme=YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME_NAME

Then check the view source of the page and you will notice your YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME_NAME

2.) The Import of a 7.40 TE

2.) If you found missing attributes please open an incident and we shall check it. Or missing colors ,images ,etc
