Is it possible to customize the appearence of the Switch Portal?
I have a submit point that looks way better with the old Switch Client than it does in Switch Portal:
Switch Client 13:
Switch Portal 17 update 2:

Hi,
I don't really know how the standard webportal is customizable. I guess you should be able to reach internal html folder inside switch preferences folders but I was under the impression that you would use the Switch API to build your own web portal.
FWIW

Oh, ok...
I googled Enfocus Switch Portal API and came up with this, which I suppose is what you're directing me towards?
http://www.enfocus.com/manuals/Develope ... index.html
Unfortunately I don't understand anything of it, so I guess I have to either stay with the trust ole client or accept the crappy look of the new portal...
I guess I'll have to wait for the Chump Edition of that document..

Hi,you can do it by manipulating the CSS which is simple see the pic attached
the option will to link a custom CSS sheet in the index.html and find what you can tweak;
Build your own Web Portal is a solution but we will have to get our brains stronger than ever
(hint : put "!important" when classes don't seems to change)
Code: Select all
if you are not familiar with CSS here an exemple
.thisClassYouWantToManipulate{
background-color:red!important;
border-radius:5px!important;
}
hope it will help.

Thanks Loic and Victor.
My problem seems to be that I'm a prepress operator and not a programmer...
I learned some coding once, but that was in the previous millenium...
... and it was assembler for the Zilog Z80...
