 Introduction

=======================

These are the instruction on how to modify the color and text of the login page and launcher page for WCC r12.x.

 

NOTES

  • You can do all these steps back to back and then clear the browser cache one time - there is no need to restart WCC services.
  • If you have WCC configured for high availability and you change the color or text of one instance, it WILL NOT change any of the other WCC instances.
  • Not sure what color you want to use? Use the HTML Color Picker.
  • After applying an incremental patch to WCC, the modified color(s) of the login and launcher page(s) WILL NOT be affected. If you added any text to the login and/or launcher page(s), this modification WILL be affected.

 

=======================

 Change Color of Login Page

=======================

 

  1. Navigate to the $CA_WCC_INSTALL_LOCATION/tomcat/webapps/wcc/login/css directory [or %CA_WCC_INSTALL_LOCATION%\tomcat\webapps\wcc\login\css directory].
  2. Make a backup copy of the wcc-common.css file.
  3. Open the original file and look for the following statements (near the beginning of file).

 

     login-viewport {

           background-color: #FFFFFF;

 

  1. Change the hexadecimal value to color of your choice (make sure you keep the # sign).

 

             login-viewport {

           background-color: #ffcce6;

                          

  1. Save the file.
  2. Click the refresh button in your Internet browser and you should see that the login page color has changed.

Note: If you don’t see the color change after clicking the refresh button, clear your browser cache. Then access the WCC GUI.

Note: It is recommended to use a light/pastel color for the login page. You cannot change the color of the login button and you cannot change the color of the CA logo and text, so a light color would be best so you can still see these components.

 

 

=======================

 Change Color of Launcher Header

=======================

 

  1. Navigate to the $CA_WCC_INSTALL_LOCATION/tomcat/webapps/wcc/launcher/ca/css directory [or %CA_WCC_INSTALL_LOCATION%\tomcat\webapps\wcc\launcher\ca\css directory].
  2. Make a backup copy of the ca-all.css file.
  3. Open the original file and look for the following statements:

 

           /* ca header css */

            .ca-header

            {

                           #width:100%;

                           background-color: #20465f;

 

 

  1. Change the hexadecimal value to color of your choice (make sure you keep the # sign).

 

           /* ca header css */

            .ca-header

            {

                           #width:100%;

                           background-color: #e60000;

 

 

  1. Save the file.
  2. If you are currently logged in to WCC, click the refresh button in your Internet browser. If not, log in to WCC. You should see the color change at the top of the Launcher page.
