Hi,

Depending on the level of branding of the portal, this isn't an easy task and normally is done be an experienced staff. You'll end up easily in writing your own portal applications that will solve your problems because the standard applications delivered by SAP simply won't support your needed level of customization.

=> the Detailed Navigation iView isn't really easy to brand with the theme editor. You'll have to modify the application or - if you don't know how to develop your own DLN app or don't have an experienced staff to do this for your - you can try to adapt a more easy way:

1. Web Page Composer -> allows you to create HTML pages and gives your "full" control of the theme

2. Insert your own CSS theme in the portal's theme. This involves some "hacking" of the SAP Portal theme or some simple modification of the standard SAP iViews.

Hi,

if you want to change navigation Panel you should edit your theme with navigation panel box. Save and add it to your desktop, and if its neccesary, add role with this desktop to your main rules condition.

Hope this helps

Hi,

You dont have to change any par file for your requirement. As Mayank has mentioned you need to choose Navigation Panel, from the theme and you could change the look and the feel. Save the changes and assign the theme to a desktop and the desktop to a user and test.

Good Luck.

Cheers!

Hi Saurabh , I am afraid it is not com.sap.portal.navigation.lighttoplevel.par, I want to modify the navigation panel on the left side of the screen. can you give more suggestion?

[Former Member]

I think you have to modify look and feel of detail navigation !

Then there is another par file for this :

com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailnavigationtree.par

Hi ,

I am not sure how to add the Favourites section , but you can change the color of your navigation Panel through theme editor .

In your theme editor you will find the option with the name "Navigation Panel " . You can change the background color , font size of text and color of text that appears in it .

Dont forget to clear your browser cache when you test ...
