F.1. Branding

F.1.1. Re-Branding the Manager

Various aspects of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager can be customized, such as the icons used by and text displayed in pop-up windows and the links shown on the Welcome Page. This allows you to re-brand the Manager and gives you fine-grained control over the end look and feel presented to administrators and users.
The files required to customize the Manager are located in the /etc/ovirt-engine/branding/ directory on the system on which the Manager is installed. The files comprise a set of cascading style sheet files that are used to style various aspects of the graphical user interface and a set of properties files that contain messages and links that are incorporated into various components of the Manager.
To customize a component, edit the file for that component and save the changes. The next time you open or refresh that component, the changes will be applied.

The login screen is the login screen used by both the Administration Portal and User Portal. The elements of the login screen that can be customized are as follows:

The classes for the login screen are located in common.css.

  • The border

There are two types of tab elements in the User Portal - the main tabs for switching between the Basic view and the Extended view, and the tabs on the left side of the screen when the Extended view is selected. Many pop-up windows in the Administration Portal also include tabs. The elements of these tabs that can be customized are as follows:
  • Active
  • Inactive
The classes for tabs are located in common.css and user_portal.css.

F.1.7. The Welcome Page

The Welcome Page is the page that is initially displayed when you visit the homepage of the Manager. In addition to customizing the overall look and feel, you can also make other changes such as adding links to the page for additional documentation or internal websites by editing a template file. The elements of the Welcome Page that can be customized are as follows:
  • The page title
  • The header (left, center and right)
  • The error message
  • The link to forward and the associated message for that link
The classes for the Welcome Page are located in welcome_style.css.
The Template File

The template file for the Welcome Page is a regular HTML file of the name welcome_page.template that does not contain HTML, HEAD or BODY tags. This file is inserted directly into the Welcome Page itself, and acts as a container for the content that is displayed in the Welcome Page. As such, you must edit this file to add new links or change the content itself. Another feature of the template file is that it contains placeholder text such as {user_portal} that is replaced by corresponding text in the messages.properties file when the Welcome Page is processed.

F.1.8. The Page Not Found Page

The Page Not Found page is a page that is displayed when you open a link to a page that cannot be found in the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. The elements of the Page Not Found page that can be customized are as follows:
  • The page title
  • The header (left, center and right)
  • The error message
  • The link to forward and the associated message for that link
The classes for the Page Not Found page are located in welcome_style.css.
