Branding Your Deployment Part 2: Matching NetScaler to showcase -

In a previous article, we customized storefront 3 to our taste, which gives us a brand page with a matching color scheme.

When is the provision of NetScaler like many others as a front end, you will find that we have a disjointed views between the internal access and external access. This example is based off Storefront 3 and NetScaler 11

Below is the showcase scheme we will comply with our NetScaler (from the first article slightly different).

We have a sophisticated, futuristic office scene got with bright yellow lettering and a subtle Log button. These give us much more power in the GUI Let this with our external access point to work on matching up!

Introduced in NetScaler 11 are "Portal Themes." To do adjustments we were not able to do before. Once you have your NetScaler Gateway vServer and configured, go to the Portal Themes menu under NetScaler Gateway:

Note that we have a X1 theme that already the layout of the storefront will have. 3 We will want to start with this, and adjust from there. Click "Add", and rename your topic accordingly. Use the X1 theme as a template:

Now that we have a new Portal topic, we need to tie our vServer. Go to your vServer properties page, and add the Portal Theme property on the page:

from the portal themes menu, select the previously created portal theme, and click then "Bind". We will now have our new Portal Theme based bonded from the X1-submission to our vServer. The next step is to customize the theme. Back to NetScaler Gateway / Portal Themes menu and click on Edit own theme. Once the edit page, you will find that there is much more available to the login page to edit only. The portal themes include standard home pages and the login page. To support the areas in which we want to work, you see the following graphic:

* -Center Logo must 60px or less
* Wallpaper must have a minimum of 1280 × 1024.

For most of this amount of the adjustment is in order, but I realize one thing that does not quite fit - the log on button:
vs.

[1945001Hierist], where we difficult to get a little. Since this is not a GUI element to have, we go to get into the actual CSS file instead use the GUI. Our long-term problem is that if we ever come back to the GUI to make a change, our custom CSS is extinguished. benefits to fully dig the GUI front deeper into CSS.

When our portal theme was created, NetScaler created a file system for our theme @
/ var / NetScaler / logon / themes / . We need to find the CSS file in the / css folder from this directory. The custom.css file is in our interest:

Take custom.css file and use WinSCP it an average place to bring about. Using a Web Browser Testing Tools (CTRL + SHIFT + I), we find that the CSS for the button is ".custombutton". Search our custom.css file, we find two elements:

 .custombutton {background: # 333333; } .custombutton: Hover {background: # 333333; } 

use this implementation, no hover action, so I can either delete the hover CSS, or I can change it to fit. In this case, I will change it just in case I change my mind later adapt. The new CSS looks like this:

 .custombutton {background: # 333333; color: # FFFF00; border-style: solid; border-color: # 000000; border-width: 4px; } .custombutton: Hover {background: # 333333; color: # FFFF00; border-style: solid; border-color: # 000000; border-width: 4px; } 

to the custom.css file to the original folder and overwrite the old file back copy. I admit also create a small insurance with a fuse of the CSS file, just in case someone later used on the GUI. I can come back quickly when the custom CSS is wiped out

Let us take a look at our finished product.!

Awesome

Last but not least, another feature of the new portal themes is the text within the page. That was not easy to work in earlier versions NetScaler but Portal themes makes this easy. On the right side of the portal themed page (if not previously selected), click "login page", then edit the text labels:

If you're wondering, these changes the XML files in the / var / NetScaler / logon / themes / / resources

Our finished product:

How can see the NetScaler 11 Themenportal add much more flexibility than any other version of NetScaler ever had. We can easily customize many aspects of the user experience and go deeper standard CSS. I hope you found this article useful and we look forward to see some nice installations
