SAP GUI 710 installed but view looks like very old version

[Former Member]

I currently have SAP GUI 710 installed as does everyone else in my team however all my screens have always looked like it was an old gui that was installed (even the Options icon in the standard toolbar was the old 3 overlapping circles u2013 red, blue & green u2013 instead of the bar chart looking version). The details of my system suggest I have the correct GUI installed and is the same as my colleagues, nevertheless we tried re-installing the current GUI again but it didnu2019t make a difference. Is there any reason why my screen would look different (somehow changed some settings)?

Note: This has been the case for a couple of years now and despite others having a look and scratching their heads, nothing has been resolved

Please note that new installations will automatically come with Signature Design and in case of an upgrade it depends on whether the user has a personal setting under HKEY_CURRENT_USER or not. SAP will not overwrite user specific settings, but SAP will remove everything under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

You may also set default themes during installation. Please use note 1035560 for this.

If you want to enforce a theme then use the registry keys below

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SAP\General\Appearance\Themes

StringValue named SystemDefault i.e Enjoy. Please note that Enjoy is with capital "E".

The script that is required can be found in the attached "Installation Server Help" in chapter below:

-> "Administering an Installation Server" -> "Maintaining Installation

Packages" -> Configuring Packages and Scripting Events" -> "Package

Event Scripting Samples" -> "How to set a registry value?"

Also note:

To set the default theme for all users of a system please set the

parameter "sapgui/theme" to Enjoy in instance profile in transaction

RZ10 as detailed in note 610274. With this global theme set, this can be

changed on the users side individually as per user desire.

Many thanks

Sir, I have SAP LOGON 710 installed on my system. But I dont have the choice to select SAP Signature theme.How will I get SAPsignature theme for my sap GUI?

Hello Ankit,

7.10 is no longer in support, see note

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/147519

For Signature Design in 7.10 patch 11 was needed.

However,all users should now be using 7.30 GUI

Best Regards,

Thanks alot sir, But I am unfortunate that there are few systems in my organization on which 710 is installed. Just need the SAP Signature theme for those.

Can you please guide me how can I get Patch 11 as well as how will I integrate it to my SAP Logon 710?

[jude_bradley]

Hello Ankit,

I can send you the patch,but there is no support for this version,so should things go wrong,we cannot fix it except by using the latest 7.30 gui.

I don't recommend patch 11 at all since there was a severe memory leak in this version.

I can send you both patch 11 and the last patch 22 for 7.10

hello kellis2198,

in 7.10 you can choose between different types of design: Sap Signature, Enjoy and Classic. It sounds like you are running your GUI in classic design.

Try to change it via SAP-Configuration in Windows Control Panel

I have never seen this with the 7.10 version, but recently after a roll out of the 7.20 patch 4 version, it reads 7.20 in the logon pad but the layout mimics that of the the 7.10. Typically for these cases we run an uninstall, use a registry clean utility rto remove all references to SAP GUI which are there, delete the C:\Program Files\SAP folder and re-install manually. That has always resolved our issue.

I would be interested in what other may have experienced with this or the root cause.
