23.1 The Theming Directory Structure

Cloud Manager uses a standard search method to find and implement “themes,” which consist of strings, colors, graphics, and layout in the visible parts of the product. At installation time, a default /themes folder is laid down at the root of the Cloud Manager Application Server:

/themes/CloudManager

Inside the /CloudManager folder is a localization layer, the default for which is /en:

/themes/CloudManager/en

Inside the /en folder is a “components” layer. By default, several components are laid down in this layer:

  • /themes/CloudManager/en/server

  • /themes/CloudManager/en/reports

  • /themes/CloudManager/en/webapp

Inside the respective component folders, there might be an /images subfolder, populated with proprietary branding images that you can replace with your own, along with a number of other files (including XML or HTML files, style sheets, and so on) that you can modify to suit your branding needs.
