central custom css deklaration in Netweaver?

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to apply a costum css file with styles for all elemtents in the Netweaver portal. Like jsp, webdynpro, etc. I know for this issue you should use a motive and the motive editor, but the options in this editor and the functions are sometimes not the best solution.

The best solution would be a central css file in which you have the possibility to style all your elements by stylesheets. Is there an css import in the motives? exists an empty motive so that I can overwrite the generated css files? Are there other controlmechanisms for web dynpro elements? Can I edit the css classnames of the web dynpro elements?

Thanks for your help. Buy.

Hi Hans,

you could check if the "External Facing POrtal" fits your needs. Its a plain HTML rendering of the portal desktop and gives you full control over the look and feel. Some advanced navigation and inter-portlet communication features wont work though.

When it comes to "hacking" css files: I did it once, but regreted almost instantly. CSS-class names of SAP are not fixed and may change from SP-release to release. So you will continuously be adopting your custom code. Dont start it!

Hi Jan,

Thanks for answer. Yes a external facing portal fits my needs. I have implemented one, but the central theme is only editable with the helb of the motive editor (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/43/86b6bce99d72a7e10000000a11466f/content.htm TASK 6). And you have to agree to me that the functionality of this editor isn't exactly brilliant CSS 1, some of the Webdnpro elements are not editable, the support of firefox is bad, you can define padding, color, images, etc. But sometimes that is not enough.

So it would be perfect if there is a way to define my own custom "theme.css" with the styling information for my navigation iviews, siteheader, footer, brand, web dynpro registers, input boxes, etc.

So has anybody ideas or experiences for this area?
